The Sons of Veterans Committee of Arrange
ments relative TO the National Encampment of
the GAR at Pittsburg is leaving nothing un-
done to make the occasion great success
Commander Charles l.. John, in General Orders
says:
"0ur organization has an opportunity there.
in to obtain such an impetus that it may never
again have advantage of, and it is sincerely
hoped a misrepresentation will reward the
efforts and labors of the committee and it's
friends. Every Camp is urged and especially
requested by the committee and members of the
Allegheny County Camps to attend or send large
delegations. 1t is greatly desired to have the
Pennsylvania Division very largely repre-
sented, and many Camps possible partici-
pate in a body. Members of Camps which will
not attend in body are requested not to re-
main away for that cause, but to attend and
represent such Camps as delegations The
members of the committee will royalty enter
tain every visiting brother. All Sons of Vet
Grams will receive cordial and hearty welcome
and nothing will be spared to make the visit of
all a memorable event and an occasion of pleas
ant remembrance forever. None will regret
the visit to Pittsburg, aud every brother is
earnestly requested to be present"
