[From the Richmond Dispatch.l

From the Richmond Dispatch.l
General Dabney H. Maury, as chairman
of the Executive Committee of the South
ern Historical Society, wrote letter to
Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss recently,
setting forth strong reasons why that
gentleman should give an amount of
money sufficient to maintain the Confed-
Memorial Museum here instead of estab-
fishing the proposed big Confederate Me
mortal Institute elsewhere. To this letter
the reply appended explains itself:
Mr. RoUss' LETTER.
No. $40 Broadway, New York.
March II, 1897.
General Dabney H. Maury, Richmond.
Va.
My Dear General:-Your letter as
chairman of the Executive Committee of
the Southern Historical Society, dated
March 3d. has been received.
You remind me that some years ago
the city of Richmond gave to the Ladies
Memorial Society of the South, and to
the Southern Historical Society, the
Presidents house of the Southern Con-
federacy, to be a safe and commodious
building for the preservation of the ar
chives and the memorials of the great
war between the States. Therefore. you
would submit to me whether it would not
be better for me to appropriate to this in
stitution an amount sufficient to maintain,
and, if necessary, enlarge it, instead of
attempting the establishment of another
similar museum elsewhere. You then in
from me that no other memorial hall
which may hereafter be erected, can ever
them, nor can any other building ever
equal this in the affections of the South
ern people. 1 appreciate all that you say
upon this subject, and have frequently
had my attention called to it, not quite SO
forcibly and eloquently as you have done,
but sufficient to awaken, or enliven, my
patriotic spirit, as we'll as my State pride,
and also to renew my admiration for my
country women who have labored so
earnestly and diligently, as well as sue
cessfu1ly, for their Memorial and Histori-
cal Society in Richmond. My Richmond
sentiment which you express, and so ably
maintain in beholf of that city is adnira-
BILE, and will, no doubt, have great force
and effect when eloquently presented by
Virginia's representative Colodel John B.
Cary before the Board of Trustees of the
Confederate Memorial Institute, when
that body undertakes to decide the ques-
ton of location.
