 eve have placed our own State mon ument to Alabama heroes on Shiloh battlefield. but as our President Gen. sraI has decided that erecting mon- 3 ument to all Southern heroes is part Of our IT ID. c. work and having a com mittee to work to that end. 1t behooves I me to lay the matter before each 4 Chapter, asking for earnest considera- j tion. =, I lars .00) that we may make report 4 of same at convention?
 Do not consign this to the waste
 basket. but give it your attention. Faithfully yours, Mrs Harvey E. Jones. An AppepI for Shiloh. Paris, Tenn. April 5, 1907. To All Confederate Organizations:
 Forty-hve years ago. at shiloh. was
 fought one of the greatest. If not the
 decisive battle of the war between the | States The bullet that struck down E that matchless leader. Gen. Albert Syd-
 ney Johnston, turned one Of the most
 overwhelming victories of modern war
 fare into defeat: the Southern Confed-
 eracy tottered and the way for Grant
 and Appomattox was opened. shiloh
 was a bloody two days battle. and on
 that fatal field sleep many thousanns I of the bravest and best of the South's s
 voung manhood. Over and about them tower more than 100 handsome shafts
 and memorials erected there by North-
 ern States to honor the memory and
 valor of the Federal soldiers: but no # fionument stands there to tell the story
 of the heroisn. patriotism and con-
 stancv of the Confederate soldiers who
 fought without reward. but not with * out honor
 The United Daughters of the Con # federacy. feelinE that love for the # South and loyalty to tPA men who brayely fought and nohly died for right
 and principle demand that a fitting
 memorial to all Confederate soldiers
 should be placed oR~ this battlefield.
 made forever glorious by their achieve # ments. have undertaken the work or

 to posteritv this wonderful story.
 The undersigned committee have
 been appointed to ask all Confederate

 memorial associations. camps of Con
 federate Veterans. and camrs Of Sons # of Veterans-and all friends of the M south everywhere tn helu in this work # and make contributions to the fund all
 ready started in various States.
 We want this to be handsome me
 morial--a monument commensurate
 with the importance of the battle. com Fl mensurate with the ability of Albert 4 Sydney Johnston and with the bravery # of the soldiers of the South. Rut
 we cannot build a worthy shaft with
 out your aid. We ask you to help us
 now that this memorial may be erected
