There seems to he great deal of apathy in
regard to the coming Campfire aud reception to
the COmmander-in Chief Only one Post has
sent word to the Assistant Adjutant- General
ordering tickets. The Committee in charge
are working theoretically, and the Department
Commander earnestly hopes that every comrade
will assist it, so that the affair will be grand
success. The Commander desires that all Posts
take action in the matter at once and canvass
for the sale of tickets. The price of the tickets
is 81.
The badges which admit the elected Dele
gates and others TO seats in the Encampment
will be placed in the hands of Comrade Turner
and will be delivered 10y him TO the Commander
OF each Post for its Delegates, and all other
comrades entitled TO seats will procure their
badges of Comrsde Turner.
The Department Commander Edmund F.
Prentiss, Providence, in Order IL. urges all
comrades entitled to seats in the coming En-
campment to be present.

mended for Department Commander. and the
