NY Dear Friends.-Your esteemed favor

dies Of your association OF January 25th.

noble sentiments OF yourself and your
associates, and IT has afforded me great
happiness TO find that you have plainly
branded as untrue the criticism upon my
actions I'm connection with the Battle
Abbey. as published in the Picayune OF
January 18th. / did not commit the error
OF thinking that ycu. my dear frieno-.
were guilty OF this harsh criticism. but
was necessary that we should cooperate
I'm our efforts to reach the evil genius
Of this Battle Abbey affair. and dispose
OF II ut once and forever. which. I think.
has been accomplished. You do me the
honor to say that have won your res
pect by steadfast fidelity TO a cause that
we all love so we'll Let us together per-
petuate and sustain this fidelity by every
effort in our power. | was very much
pleased 20 find that you refrained IN
YOUR correspondence with me from touch
ing upon the subject Of business. This
was. like yourselves. both delicate and
kind. I have nothing whatever TO 90
with the BUSINESS affairs OF the United
Confederate Veteran Association or the
Ladies' Associations through the South
I'm regard 10 the fund OF money which
they have undertaken to raise. The
board of trustees. through the executive
committee. will look after this matter
no doubt 10 the satisfaction OF all con-
cerned. and I have gladly assisted them
with working capital whenever they have
asked Il: hereafter. therefore. our cor
respondence. which I viii be glad TO see
continued, may be upon much moro de-
lightful subjects such "a charity and
good will to cur fellow man. and we VIII
exclude the evils OF envy. jealousy and
malice, which we have lately seen dis
guised in newspaper articles as emana-
lions from the minds OF the sweetest
women in the land. OF course
knew that such an article was
not inspired by the ladies' OF
your association. or approved by them.
I can only repeat that | am always W.T.
ling to do my part In any gocd work
that my countrywomen undertake 10 do.
ard where they lead I am always willing
and ready 10 follow, and am ever theft
