 To The Alabama Division, U. ID, c.
 Although te greater number of chap tars have read accounts given by the press of the Gulfport convention, and Miss Andrews has ably pictured to you the glorious day spent by the dele- gates from every part of our land, on the gulf coast, a few words are yet left your president in making official announcement of the action of the chairman of the Alabama delegation and some of the decisions of the con- vention. First, however, some confus- ion exists in the minds of a number of chapters regarding the date of pay ment of U. D. o. per capita tax and the privilege of representation, depen- dent upon payment cf same October Il Is the day set and none can nave representation who have not placed this tax in the U. D. c. treasureY's hands prior to ten days of the convention.

Each chapter Is obligated to record the name and date also, and date when conferred, so there will be a chain of records, chapter, State and custodian of each applicant and cross.

Henry Wirz, who was blamed for the prevailing condi- tions of Anderson prison (Ga.), and under most grievous circumstances was executed by the United States govS ernment, 8 donation from the treasury was made and other subscriptions amounted to $500, Your president pledged from Alabama s25,

 To simplify mRtteFs you are, reQues- ted to consider these matters at yaur earliest meeting, and send to your president any donations to these wor- thy causes itmay be your pleasure and honor to make, even small amounts, which will be forwarded with list and names to proper authorities.
 Mrs. Nesbitt of Georgia supplied each State with a list of names of soldiers buried at Marietta, 202 AIabamian names appear on the list secured from these books of record, and will be foF- Warded to Dr. Owen for preservation.
 The ruling of our president general upon the rights of chapters and divis- ions to donate sums to other objects beside Confederate objects, was revised by recommendation by the committee presenting these decisions to the con- vention, and much argument following
