 "Comrades--Q) The Division in third annual reunion at Birmingham, November {, 1906. having again honored me by cleo ton to the responsible post of Com mander, desire to formally express to you my heartflt gratitude for this re- newed evidence of confidence.
 ''In entering upon a new years work desire to appeal to all loyal descendants of Confederate Veterans in Alabama to rally to the support and upbuilding of our noble organization. Ours is high mission. We should esteem 1t proud privilege to promptly, earnestly and faith fully meet our sacred duty. The objects of our organization are historical and benevolent We strive to keep alive no sectional hate. Our endeavor is to keep sacred as a splendid heritage the proud spirit of courage, patriotism, and heroic endeavor which animated our fathers in the sixties. An excellent opportunity exists, through our several camps, to systematically study the history of the great struggle. to stimulate the prepara- ton of historical narratives. to collect the records and relics of the Confectionery and preserve them from loss and destruction.
 During the period from November, 1902 to November 1903 fifteen new and vigorous camps were organized, and 1t is the hope of the Commander that as many more shall be formed before the next reunion.
