Peter Helton, Adjutant, 4 w. Trade St, Char
otte y. c.: In the issue vi March 81 noticed the
article from Comrade L. NJ. Houston, Winchester
Va soliciting aid Tor the proper decoration Of the
graves OF our dear comrades on Memorial Day.
The reading of the article gave me assurance that
a duty owe to our comrades who were mustered
out OF the service NJ Salisbury, and consigned TO
mother earth, might be faithfully fulfilled by Hart
ranft Post, 40 of Charlotte, n. O., which IL the
nearest Post TO Salisbury, where lie over 300 of
our lamented comrades, and 1t has been the
most ardent wish aud sincere desire of this Post
TO perform that duty in An appropriate manner,
but owing to the very small number of the Post,
only l3 members, and principally owing to their
financial inability, they are not able to fulfill that
duty as they should Last year they sent Il delega-
ton Memorial Day, with sufficient flowers,
wreaths and flags to decorate the monument which
stands in the middle of the city of our dead com
raGes, and this was the very best that could be
more, and take the liberty to ask every comrade
as well every one who has dear father, hus-
band or brother buried at the Salisbury National
Cemetery for contributions to enable Hartran!t
Post 10 fulfill lie duty. Up to the time that Hart
Tanf Post came into existence, the colored people
of the surrounding country were Kind enough to
their old friends one else did seem
to about them, but since the establishment of
Hartranft Post its members feel just pride in per-
forming that duty. AS stated above, the Post has
only - members, who are all with two three
exceptions partially disablcd from earning living
for themselves and families, therefore only IN very
moderate circumstances financially. They beg all
who read this article TO open their hearts and send
a small amount TO me- If every one will send only
five cents Some OF the wcalther Posts up North
and out West might contribute flags and grave
markers well money. flag for Post
would also be most thankfully accepted. Any and
all contributions will be acknowledged
