Several of these camps have an
nounced that they would exceed their
pledges-as several have already done.
But there are several camps who have
not yet pledged or paid anything and
we are confident they viii come into
lire with the others. These camps are
ss follows: Dixie 1919, Bassett 1871.
Clarf 1852. Nassau 104. Kirby Smith
IT'S. ]. J. Finley lit. r. Buchanan 1914,
Tige Anderson 1903, Tverson 14S2,
Thayer 1928, DeSoto 1403 and Carton.
The work Of the year just closed is
encoura Cing and your trustees cordially
commend the camps who have thus
contributed. But we require in all ten
thousand dollars, and IL Is the duty as
well as the pleasure OF the Confederate
veterans OF Florida TO push this good
work on until that gum is assured. The
state will, we believe, help US In SO
noble a cause: TO honor the women OF
| Florida and Of the south; but IL Is not
only our duty but our great privilege
to do a generous part in raising this
money. We do not expect you, COM
rades, to limit your efforts to your
camps or to Confederate veterans
alone, but make your appeal 20 the
southern people of the country ano
town where your camn is located. This
is a cause to which every loyal son of
| the south should gladly respond. But
II is our duty, comrades, TO make our
selves responsible for the success OF
this work, TO pay in part the unutter-
| able debt we owe those glorious women
Of the southern Confederacy. Too Ions
we have delayed IN this matter. We
ore fast passing away. If we fan to
do this work II viii. we fear, never De
done and the glory and grandeur OF
| southern woTnanhood VIII never be
perpetuated, as II should TO future
| generations IN epic story writ In splen-
| did bronze and imperishable marble.
Look into your hearts, comrades, and
read what is written there and we art
sure you win not fail to crown w1th
success this last great work OF YOU
noble lives.
| Your commanding general has sug-
| gested that you dedicate the birthday
of our beloved Robert Il. Lee-January
| 19th-to the purpose of raising, collect
/ ing end renting to either Of us FUNDS
in this behalf. On that day, or a
soon thereafter as practicable, let every
camp heed this call; let not the WORT
| cease until IT is complete
