In reading the report from Gen. w.
G. Oates of Alabama to the secretary
of war regarding the marking of the
graves Of Confederate dead at the va
rious prisons and cemeteries where
they have been buried, | did not find
any mention of the hundreds who died
at Fort Delaware between 1853 and
1855, so l wrote Comrade Oates a few
lines asking for the reason why these
Fort Delaware dead were omitted.
Here is his letter which may interest a
few of us old fellows who suffered
prison life during war time.
War Department, Office of Commits
sion for Marking Graves of Confed-
crate Dead. Washington, D. {.
Dear Sir and Comrade: I have your
letter of the 9th inst. inquiring about
the Confederate dead at Fort Della
ware. which you do not find mentioned
in my report TO the secretary Of war as
published in the Advertiser. In reply
I beg to advise you that the dead from
Fort Delaware were all buried on the
Jersey shore, either at the time of
death or subsequently,, and their
graves are now included within the
wall enclosing Firms Point cemetery,
which place you will find mentioned
under the sub-heading Difficult to
Identify"
The records of the war department
show that 2436 Confederate soldiers
died and were buried in this cemetery,
but it was utterly impossible to
identity a single grave, so that there
is in course Of erection in this me-
terry white granite shaft monument
which will rise to height of 50 feet 6
inches when completed, and on the
base of which will be bronze tablets
showing the name and command of
every one of the 2436 Confederate sol
diers who died at Fort Delaware as
shown by the death records OF the
cOmmissary general OF prisoners.
Trusting this information, ETC.. WILL
be satisfactory.
Very truly, etc,

Americas Greatest Weekly
THE TOLEDO BLADE
TOLEDO, OHIO
The Best Known Newspaper in
the United States
RCUL TON 40, 900
Popular in Every State
No Whisky Advertising

The seventy-sixth year of it's ex-
istence finds the Toledo Blade more
popular than at any period of its re-
markable career. 1t is now read
each week by more than million
people. It's field is not circum-
scribed by State boundaries, but in
wolves the length and breadth of
the United States, giving it an un-
questionable right of claiming to be
the greatest national weekly news
paper in the country.
The Weekly Blade is distinctly a
family newspaper. The one object
of its publishers has always been to
make it fit for the American home,
for the Preside, and of interest to
every member of the family. To
fulfill this purpose it is kept clean
and wholesome. The news of the
world is handled in comprehensive
manner, and the various depart
ments of The Blade are edited with
painstaking care. The Household
page is a delight to the women and
children; current affairs are treated
editorially without prejudice; the
serial stories are selected with the
idea of pleasing the greatest number
of fiction lovers; the Question Bureau
is a scrapbook of information; the
Farmstead columns are conducted
with the purpose of giving the pa
irons a medium for the exchange of
ideas and information on farm
topics. No department is neglected,
but every feature is taken care of
with the idea of making The Blade
worth many times the price of sub
scription-one dollar year.
