man ana committee, who should enter
into communication with people in the
respective States they represented. ask
ing Tor contributions OF all kinds. money
articles. etc. stating the whole plan OF
The Museum. and that It was TO be for
the whole South. That this movement

condition in which it was when used by
President Davis. except that it is now
freproof and steam-heated.
BELONGS TO THE WHOLE SOUTH.
Up to 1890 no other proposition had
been made TO carry out this idea, so far
as is known by these ladies. They
knew of the Memorial Hall in New
Orleans. but had heard of no effort to
make 1t the Confederate Museum; and
they thought they were but carrying out
the heartfelt wish of every old veteran
and every daughter OF the Confederacy
in establishing this Museum in the Capt.
tai of the Confcderacy and the White
House of the Confederacy, and In the
one place a,one belonging to every
State, the one spot which could rep
resent the whole. and where slept a
larger number of soldiers of that land
where we were dreaming" AS ii was
the wish of the Southern people and
their decree that Richmond should be
their capital. 1t seemed to them still to
ha t1,at,~ -tclo o,,l hot
lies should be gathered there: and now
this sacred building has been given 10
this cause. Every Confederate State
has there its room. its regent residing
at home. while its vice-regent or alter
nate is located In Richmond.
