The following reports for the last year
have been submitted by the vice-regents
Of the Confederate Memorial Literary
Society. and will be read with much in
terest:
Report of the vice-regent of the Mary
land room:
To the Ladies OF the Confederate Memo
rial Literary Society. Richmond. Va:
1t is with infinite satisfaction that |
am able to report that through the eff
forts of Mrs John S. Poe. of Baltimore,
7 have secured an annual contribution OF
$50 for the maintenance of the Maryland
room. This money comes through the
following chapters of the Daughters OF
the Confederacy:
Baltimore Chapter No .-..-.-.S-2 w
Frank A. Bond Chapter, Howard
county ...-.....-......-.'..-..'- W
Total .....................s $50 90
The Annapolis Branch of the Bal
timore Chapter --.---....-.-..-.---- Z o.
This latter is not an annual contrlpu-
ton. I have always been or the opinion !
that the support of the State rooms OF
museum should come from the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy- the chapters
now being so numerous that 1t would re-
uuire a small contribution from each, ana
what could be more fitting than tnat inc
relatives of our dead heroes should care
for the treasures our museum holds:
ba-a tha nron1ise of many valuable relics
and hope to be able to report the receipt
Of them in the fall.
Respectfully submitted.
