tions will please do likewise, so that the De.
partment Commander may know how many OF
his Department he can muster for parade and
| arrange for their admission to the several
amusementS.
1t is impracticable in many instances for
Departments to bring Posts to this Encamp-
| ment but there will be a great many comrades
| coming singly and in squads, and in delega-
tions from Posts and it is hoped that every
| comrade who comes, whether singly or with a
party, will give few hours on Wednesday to
the honor and the glory of the Order, and if
| he is able to march at all, will fall in with
his Department, and swell its numbers. We
| have promised the people Of Baltimore and
! those who assemble here a great display OF
veteran soldiers. Commander Dullehart has
arranged the line of march so that 1t will not
| be too fatigung our Committee has given the
greatest attention to details, (as this exhaustive
circular attests,) and all we ask is the active
| cooperation of the several Department Com
| manders and all our comrades in the parade of
Wednesday morning to make this display the
| most imposing that has ever taken place since
| the war. There will be so many more comrades
come here in small detachments than in Posts
| that to have them in line becomes matter OF
| the highest Importance. Please remember this
and help us to keep our promise to our people
To those who have secured quarters at hotels
| through this Committee, hotel tickets have
been sent and parties must present them at the
hotel on arrival, or they may not be received; ;
those who have not secured accommodations
had better do so through this Committee; i'll
doing so give the names of the parties for whom
accommodations are wanted and the price
from 81 80 to $500 per day.
Members of the Reception Committee will be
present at every train on Monday and Tuesday
till Wednesday, & n. H., and will be designated
by a red ribbon badge, with Reception Com
mi IN tn
Of them and You will be conducted to it by one
of the Local Transportation Committee. If
you have any grievance ut your hotel please
state it to one of the Hotel Committee, three of
which will be on duty at each hotel during the
days of arrival, and they will try to set you
right. There will, necessarily, be more or less
confusion, owing to immense crowd, but every
thing that system can do has been arranged to
reduce disappointments and discomforts to
minimum.
| have endeavOred to exhaust every point
upon which questions might arise, and from
the length of this circular il seems to me l
must have succeeded: if, however, after read
ing this, any veteran has the courage to start
me again, will try to satisfy him. | would
earnestly advise an early application to your
ticket agents, so that they may get instructions
from their roads if they have not already done
so. Several good hotels are still open, and
number ofeligible boardng-hou in central
location. Very respectfully, in F., c. & L.,
VIM E. w. Ross,
Chairman Executive Committee.
JOHN A. THOMPSON, Jr. Secretary.
