Mrs. Norman V. Randolph, Richmond Va:
Dear Madam,-It has become a time

whose duty and privilege it has been to
perform any service in their behalf. Wien

the Confederate cause, on all occasions
and in many organizations, we the mem
bers of r. z. Lee Camp, No. 1, C. V,

YOU been foremost in every good word and
work; but especially do we desire to con-
yey to you our admiration for your SPLEEN
did services in behalf of the Jefferson

Confederate Reunion at Louisville, Ky.
BY your efforts you have started a move
ment which will make it possible to have
erected in the near future a monument
to the memory of the Great Chief Execu-
tive of the Confederate States. Not only
do your comrades of Lee Camp (for we
feel that We can call you one OF uS-Dy

where feel that they owe you a lasting
debt of gratitude for your efforts. to have
honored our great chief, President Davis.
And many who despared of ever seeing
a monument TO his memory erected, came
from the Louisville reunion inspired with
the thought that soon they would be call
ed to view that granite pile and bronze
effigy which will tell to generations yet
to come of the great men and the great
people who founded government, whose
brief history challenged, and is still COM
manding the admiration of the civilized
world. the grand monument OF jefferson
