MR.. HOWE has sent the following
letter to the pOstmasters of the United
States: 'The Society Of the Army Of the
Cumberland appeals TO you for aid to pro-
cure contributions to a fund for the erection
Of a monument at the National Capital to
the memory of james A. Garfield. Tam

your best efforts in behalf OF such a cause.
BY noble aspiration and by tireless endeavor
to promote the public welfare, President
Garfield had achieved the highest honor of
the Republic when he had but little passed
the noon OF life. He fell victim to malice
so wanton as to be demoHfac. A monument
TO him will attest the nations love for his
virtues and the nation s. s.abhOrrence for that
inSerutable depravity which slew him.
Such a structure should not be stinted for
lack OF means. The nation is very rich.
Let art exhaust itself on invention; let
money leap to execute her designs. / have
hut lately assumed relations with your corps.
This Is my first communication to you.
You are numerous, widespread, influential; /;
YOU will respond to the Society OF the Army
Of the Cumberland, and your response will
show, 1 trust, that those who administer
the postal service for the United States are
not the least patriotic nor the least capable
OF those who work for the Republic.
