Public attention has been recently
called by correspondents in several Of the
daily papers to the fact that not even 9
slab marks the last resting-place of Lieu
tenant General A. P. Hill, one of General
Lees trusted lieutenants, who sleeps in
a beautiful and commanding section in
Hollywood.
The Psgram Battalion Association,
composed of the surviving members Of
batteries, every one of which were attach
ed to the brigades forming A. P. Hill's
light division, and afterwards, IS
Pegram's battalion, attached to the same
division, and to the Third corps of the
Army of Northern Virginia-feelipg that 1t
would be becoming and proper in their
association, in the absence Of any other
organization to take the lead, as well as
to show their admiration and love for
their old division corps COM
Misunderstanding this day contributed
the sum of S25-which is the remnant of
fund subscribed by the members of the
battalion and their friends for the pur-
pose of placing memorial window to
their dead, in the chapel at Lee Camp
Soldiers Home-as tue nucleus of fund
hereafter to be raised, for the purpose OF
erecting monument over the remains OF
General A. P. Hill worthy of mis- fame and
reputation. The subscribers were ap-
pointed committee, which will be here
after enlarged as may be required from
other organizations, to perfect and carry
out their wishes.
We cordially invite and earnestly call
on all soldiers of the Light Division and
of the Third Army Corps, as well as of
the Army Of Northern Virginis, and also
OF the whole Confederacy-and we will
further add, the noble women Of the
south-to respond as far as they are able,
by remitting their contributions to Cap
tain Thomas Ellett, president of Pegram
Battalion Association, No % N. Ninth

them over to Colonel william b. Palmer,

will act as treasurer. AS soon as sufa
cient fund Is raised, all necessary steps
will be taken toward the selection and
erection of q monument worthy of the
gallant officer and man. Our wish is
that every living member of the light di-
vision and Third Army Corps shall re-
spond to the extent of his ability, no
matter how limited, so that every one
will feel thst he has an interest in the
shaft that marks the spot where sleeps
the glorious dead.
