This year Monterey Camp has no dele
gate to represent her at the Reunion at
Indianapolis, but we hope that in the
years to come she will have representa-
tives. Nor have l heard Of even one Mexi-
can veteran who was going to accept of
the above kind invitation. North Caro-
lima ought to be represented if not by a
veteran or a Dame, then by some friend
of both. 1 shall hope for the best and
that several delegates Gf interested
enough to be self-appointed), shall be at
indianapolis the 10th and 18th of Septem-
Der for the honor and glory of the sol
diers of this war of Victories" and the
Danes of 1916, and Qast but not least),
the Old North State. If any one from
North Carolina is at the reunion, we
Monterey Camp, hope that most cor
dial invitation will be given to the Next
can War Veterans to come to see us, and
this invitation is especially extended to
all North Carolinians "once removed" or
as General Carr had in large letters over
the North Carolina Headquarters at Dial
las at the Confederate Reunion, 1--WE well
come the Sons and Daughters of North
Carolina from all the other States" And
grandsons and granddaughter are twice
welcome.
Many of the veterans are proud to call
themselves grandsons of the Old North (,
State and do so gladly. North Carolina is !
as proud to recognize them as grandsons, !
and does so gladly. o.
Hoping that every one interested in the
Mexican War will be a friend to the
Danes of 1916, and that each of these
friends will win another friend until we
are strong enough to accomplish all that
is in our hearts for the cause, 1 am,
Yours for the work truly and faithfully,
