On Sept II, 1903, received a letter
from Comrade Leo Rassieur, stating
that a comrade of the Grand Army of
the Republic, one Henry Bergerer, OF
st. Louis, Mo, formerly of lockwood,
Ill, had died, leaving a last will and
testament, dated July 80, 1908, in
which, among other things, he be-
queathed TO the Grand Army of the
Republic the sum Of $4,000, and that
this will had been offered for probate.
Two other papers, dated respectively
Aug. 80, 1901, and June II, 1908, also
purporting to be last wills of Henry
Bergerer, were filed at the same time
in the Probate Court of st. Louis City.
Realizing fully that this matter should
receive immediate attention, and not
having time to call the Executive Com
mittee of the Council of Admlnistra-
ton together, and Comrade Rassieur
having submitted the names OF eminent
counsel in st. Louis for my considera-

other matters of this character I have

the Grand Army of the Republic and
the survivors Of Picket.s Division fer
a Reunion of the two armies at Gettys-
