has written a letter to we'll known
citizen of Montgomery asking II any
members of his old command, company
1. 47th Alabama Volunteers, are living
and where they are.

numerous Confederate organizations
could accomplish much good and be of

compiling rosters of Alabama regi-

living ones. These rosters could be
corrected each year and complete rec

rades Is often sought by old soldiers
and there ought to be some official way
to locate them"
