ing the Order at large. Nearly all of our old
Camps are doing good work this year. The
outlook for new Camps is not very encouraging
nearly all the ground had been worked over
previous to my promotion, and where Camps
have diSbanded within year or two IL is
nearly impossible at present TO start new ones.
! However. are working in some 10 different
cities and towns aud hope to secure some re-
suits. One great encouragement is the TACT
that several Camps which were reported as
weak and likely to 'go under are steadily
improving, aud. think. will stay with US"
