ION January 16, 1907, wrote
letter in anticipation Of the one-
hundredth anniversary of the

General Lees life and deeds
should be erected by appealing to
all of our people 10 every section
of this country for the establish
mant Of such a memorial in some
educational institution in the
South. This day being the ami.
yersary Of his birth l would like
to ask whether steps cannot At
once be taken to provide such =
memorial, l unde, stand that it
has been definitely concluded to
place it at Washington and Lee
University-a university endowed
by Washington, and where General
Lee paesed in honorable service
the closing years Of his life, and
where his body now lies. Could
oot your committee arrange for a
meeting III Washington, or else
where, if your committee thinks it
wiser, at which definite kteps to

Grams were held in the morning
at the Courthouse, and the annual

ton Hotel.
A little before / O'Clock, led by
the V. M. l. orchestra, the griz
zled Veterans and the Sons
marched to the hotel dining room,
which had been tastefulIy decorated
with Confederate flags and colors.
Long tables afforded comfortable
pleces for the banqueters, and
most excellent dinner was served
in courses concluding with cigars,
eloquent after dinner speeches and
patriotic songs. There were or
Veterans seated around t1e tables,
and their very presence spoke of
the stirring times Of half century
ago, when for four years they
braved danger and death on many
fields of battle. Whitened locks
and haltina steps tell the story Of
advancing feebleness.
Arrived 10 the dining room,
blessing was invoked by Rev.

Frsnk Paxton, and Mr.. Edward
l. Graham, the retiring command
ant of the camp, presided and act-
ed as toastmaster. At the con-

tunity for the old soldiers to meet
and enjoy the mselves around the
