 NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS
 GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC,
 KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept 3, 18SS Circular Letter No l.
 COMRADE-The command der-in-chief, upon assuming the duties of his office, desires to ouch elbows and keep step with the depart nent commanders and all the comrades, that here may be no break along the line It is lis hope that this year will be one of earnest, ictive work. Every Grand Army post should De recruiting station There is necessity .or this. We are confronted with the fact hat thousands of honoraby discharged oldiers and sailors of the war of the rebel ion are not members of the Grand Army of .he Republic. The names of all these, our Old companions in arms. who live within a reasonable distance of a Grand Army post hould be found on our rolls. Until this is lone our organization has not reached its maximum.
 It is for you, comrades, to say whether we shall advance or retreat. We cannot stand till; we must advance Let it be understood hat as ill 1S61-5, the politics or religion of tcomrade was not questioned; that as then We did not permit differences on those ques- lions to divide us so it shall be now Fra !ernity, charity and loyalty is a platform broad enough for every survivor of the Union army to stand upon. Standing upon hat platform, the spirit of true comradeship protects comrades sectarian and political opinions from even adverse criticism. His opinions on these questions he is entitled to. W1th them his comrades have nothing to do ave to respect them and to protect him in he free exercise of the same. As members of the grandest civic organization in the world, let us one and all hew to this line As officers let us practice what we preach. By 70 doing we may reasonably hope to increase n numbers and usefulness and strength the bonds of comradeship that should bind the veterans of the Union army and navy one to another-a comradeship the warp and wool of which are fraternity and charity, woven n the loom of loyalty.
 Comrades the commander-in-chief asks that which he believes he will receive-your active cooperation in advancing the lines of our order. With your assistance much can be accomplished; without it his labors will be vain. Department commanders will at as early day as possible notify these head quarters of the time and place of holding the encampment in each department.
 This letter is subscribed by your comrade in F., C. and L. WILLIAM WARNER, Commanders Chief Official EUGENE F. WEIGEL, Adjutant General
