Attention is called to Circular Letter
No. 1, from headquarters" says the
order, asking for contributions from all
members Of the 6. A. R., for the purpose
of erecting and maintaining at Canton,
Ohio, a suitable memorial to our late
comrade, William Mckinley. 1t is very
meet and fitting that this should be
done, and all contributions for the same
should come unurged and as the free gift
of love. For the convenience of those
desiring to contribute, it is suggested
that some officer or other comrade OF
each Post be appointed a committee to
receive the contributions of his Post and
comrades, and forward the same with
the names, addresses and amounts given
by each, to Edward Baker, A. A. g.,
Montpelier, who will receipt for the
same and forward the funds with the
proper data to insure due credit to each
contributor and in time the souvenir GER
ti6cate to be issued by the Mckinley
Memorial Association. 1t is appre-
hended that contributions for those not
members of the Grand Army of the Re-
public would not be declined. This mat.
ter should be given immediate atten-
ton"
