confederate armies who shall come to
Washington in connection with the Grand
Army encampment on October 6.

day, and at the same time would aid in
extending a sentiment which has been SO
recently expressed by Gen. Torrance, the
commander-in- chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic, in the interests of fraternity.
charity and loyalty. The three fundamen-
tai principles of your organizati ton are
freedom, friendship and charity, and to-
ward their extension the active efforts of
a very large number of our people who are
members of your order have made most
emphatic contribution. The time for your
parade can be fixed at later date
