pleasantly and smoothly in greeting and COM
paniOnship of those who are so closely bound
in the cOmradeship of the past. The business
meeting was held on Wednesday afternoon,
June 81, when the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved That recognize the fact that the
Pennsylvania Reserves went into the service as a
complete, consolidated organization, as much so a.
any independent regiment company and con-
,inued as such through its service. The fact that
any regiment portion Of the command should in
the exiyences of the service be on detached duty
at time another does not change the status,
ana the organization as body is entitled to be
considered in its entirety in all its operations.
Therefore il is mee and proper that the memorials
at Gettysburg should be united memorial for the
entire organization, aud this Association indorses
the action OF the General Committee I'm its efforts
10 procure the erection of memorial hall from the
joint appropriations to which the several regi-
ments would be entitled and if further legislation
Is needed, requests all Pennsylvania Reserves to
urge upon the several members of the Legislature
the justice of our claims.

charge was directed 1t will be one of the
most desirable places for a monument upon the

belonged to the regiment have determined that
| fund shall be raised to add to the amount ap-
| propriated by the State in order that monu-
ment may be put up worthy of the regiment
and of the exceptionally prominent place it
| is to occupy.
