 statement from Recording Secretary.
 know the Chapters are all anxious ly looking for the minutes of the last U. D. c. Convention. and l desire to say through the U. D. c. columns that the prospects are. we can have them now in a short while. In justice to the Chapters and to myself as your Re- cordinr Secretary, I feel it due both to state that the delay in getting out the. minutes Is through no fault of your Secretary s F assJs~ It was my most earnest desire to have the minutes published in Bir- mingham, my residence city, feeling that it would be less trouble to me, and that l could personally overlook and expedite the work. and I did e,'- erything reasonable toward this e.d. However, the bids received from firms here were above former prices,
  lily for Shiloh Monup.ent--a work very near the heart of our Division--other expenses had to be met and was in- structed to condense the minutes :n every way possible and use all pre- cautions to keep cost within bounds of formeT prices. Therefore. when the bid of ah out of town firm gave the lowest figures, faithful to my trust, l gave pfie work to this firm, which also stated they could finish the work in eighteen days
 4 feel sure they would have done so lsand you would have had the pleasure ! of commenting on your minutes' for | these last many weeks, but alas! the printing company fell upon evil days! They had some little troubles of their own, such as change in workmen and passing through the trying ordeal of moving day. We present-day wo- men should be able to appreciate this and forgive them. I am sure that much as regret the delay l do freely forgive them.
 The minutes have been ready for the printer since August 1. kept over few days awaiting some delayed names. we're sent our former President, Mrs. Wood, on August 6, Immediately ap- proved by her and forwarded to Mrs. A. l.. Dowdell. Chairman of Revision Committee. as speedily approved by her and handed over to the printers in as short a while thereafter as communi- cations could be exchanged, and few minor matters decided. I go into this statement of facts to exhonorate my self as your Recording Secretary. from any neglect of duty and also because feel the printing company Is due our lenient consideration.
 I also take this opportunity to state that I am authorized by our President, Mrs. Thompson. to ask that each Chap ter send 25 cents to me as soon as pos sibie, that there may be no delay in distributing minutes when they are re- ceived. Faithfully yours,
 Marielou A. Cory,
 Rec. Sec. Ala. Div. U. D. c.
