Guests of Post A.

Although the Atlanta Post of the
Georgia Division, Travellers Protective
Association, has decided officially not
to visit Savannah during the. 'conven-
ton next month. and has determined
not to send any delegates. members of
Post A are certain that many of the
Atlanta travelling men will be here on
the dates agreed upon for the holding
of the convention.
While Post B of Atlanta has declined
to name delegates to the convention,
on the ground that q combination was
made against Atlanta, the members OF
the Savannah post say that their
friends in Atlanta can certainly come
to Savannah as the guests of the To-

been written to members of the At

an opportunity to make you all change
your feelings. l write you this as
personal letter from one friend to an
other, as l have always esteemed you
