Hartford will take care of the com rades as it always has.
 Every post in this department is re quested to notify these headquarters as to the probability of their attending as an organization, and make any sugges- tions they deem proper. Enough copies of this order will be printed and sent each post so that every comrade may 1 have one and post commanders are re- quested to mail one to each member of their post
