name Colonel Ellsworth" The same has been
duly approved and recorded.
XIV. Attention has been called to the appAFens
neglect Of members of the Order 70 the TecoE-
milton badge buttonhOe decoration Of the Order.
Many of the members fail TO wear this decoration,
which Is to be regretted Captains are directed to
urge the propriety OF The same. Camps should have
them in stock with other supplies and all mem eeFa
at oil times should wear a outionhOie decoration.
The last inspection showed about Oue-half The
members to be uniformed. 10 Is TO be hoped every
member will possess uniform by Memorial Day.
Captains of Camps are urged TO impress upon all
the importance and necessity Of obtaining the
same.
Ia the same connection, for the benefit OF ali
Camps, and particularly those recently mustered We
desire call attention 10 the fact that seals which
all must procure, equipments and supplies Of all
kinds. will be furnished by Quartermaster Diefen-
derier on requisitiou regularly forwarded.
