Comrades, we, are certainly old

Headquarters Mississippi Division,

Order Number
The major general commanding |
calls the special attention of the bri-
gade commanders of the division to
the fact that the annual reunion OF
the Confederate Veterans occurs IN
the city of New Orleans on the 25th,
10th and 27th of April, 1906.
1t is of the first importance that
the brigade commanders notify the
respective camps of their command
at once, to meet and appoint dele
gates to New Orleans, and also to
urge a large attendance of comrades
at the reunion.
Commanders of camps should be
directed to forward to W. E. Mickle,
adjutant general and chief of staff,
postoffice box IIo7, New Orleans, the
| amount that goes to headquarters.
and J. L. McCaskill, adjutant general
and chief of staff, Brandon, Miss, the
amount due at division headquarters.
The observance of the prompt pay
ment OF these small sums saves some
trouble to general and division head
| quarters. The generous hospitality
of the people of New Orleans, the
greatest of Southern cities, is known
the world over, and comrades may
be assured of warm and hearty
welcome.
