piled as below:
RICHMOND, Va Jan. 9, 1884.
r. E. Lee Camp No. l, Confederate Vet
Grams.
Comrades.-R. E. Lee Camp No. l,
Confederate Veterans, of Richmond, Va,
have concluded to hol fair in the month
of February in order to raise funds for
INDECENT and wounded soldiers. And as
we have no government bounty from
which to provide the necessary aid and
support of our comrades, we have. in ac-
cordance with resolution, determined
to appeal to the patriotic soldiers
of the Union to unite with us in
raising fund for the object mentioned
above. We therefore solicit cOntrlbu-
tiOns from all who may feel inclined to
contribute to so noble and praiseworthy
an obiect.eith in money, or merchandise
which can be sold at the proposed fair.

CAMBRIDGE, Vt. Feb. 5, 1884.
To Il. E. Lee Camp No. I, Richmond, Vd.:
r.. I'll. Cox, Chairman of Committee
At a regular meeting of Post No. l. G.
A. r.. vote was taken that we assist
you in your very laudible enterprise.
Enclosed find ten dollars. During the
war the soldiers of VermonC to the num-
Der of thirty odd thousand, fought for
the Union. many of them upon the sa-
cred soil of old Virginia. From the first
battle at Bethel, to the surrender of
Lee at AppomattoX, the sons of the Green
Mountain State were ever recognized,
fighting for the good old flag. Many of
her boys are to-day sleeping beneath
your soil, worthy sacrifice for princi-
pie. The war is ended between the sol
diers of the Union and the soldiers of the
Confederacy; there is no more hostile
array. n satisfactory result was attained
long years ago. Politicians may war
in times of peace, but they cannot re-
cruit their ranks from old soldiers. We
are satisfied with the history, and Post
no. 10 has no luminosity towards the |
Gray, We greet you with charity. in |
loyalty and greeting. and in presenting |
you with this small pittance from our
fund, ask you to receive it, not alone for
its real worth, but as a reminder that the |
soldiers of Vermont meet the soldiers of
the other side as their brothers and fell |
low citizens, feeling assured that the fu- |
ture destiny of this nation is safe in the |
hands of those who saved and sought to |
destroy. May heavens blessings be with
you.
