FIFTH ANNUAL REUNION.
DEAR GUARDS: That pleasurable event
which annually falls to the lot of the grand
annual Reunion of the N. T. G. G. Guards will
be at its hight. Already many of cur most in
fuential members have signifed theis inten-
ton of going, and undoubtedly this meeting
will prove to be the most beneficial in the yet
short but progressive history of our Order.
practical change in the order OF things
should be instituted. Let the federation idea
suggested by President General Sherwood be
deliberately considered.
The National per capita tax should BIO lower
ed, since the present system has been disas-
trous 10 many Divisions the past year. as the
Secretary Generals report will show.
Make this meeting one notable for its materi-
atty in starting our organization out on a good,
substantial basis the coming year.
regret very much not to be able to meet
with my friends of Indianapolis acquaint lance,
besides the many new ones from the more
enthusiastic East who will throDg the beauti-
ful historic city of Pittsburg in September
next.
With faith in your deliberations and work
| for the good Of the Order, and hoping to
meet with you at some future gathering, am
yours loyalty
