! and purposes OF the Home for Needy
| Confederate Women at Richmond.
This is based upon thorough inves-
| tigation OF the home and it's work
| ings by the present relief committee
of this division.
In the opinion OF this division the
! home should be made a perpetual
! institution as a monument to the he
| roic women OF the South, who were
| n bulkwark before and behind the
| men Of the South in the memorable
| struggle Of the sixties. and for the
succor of such of those heroines and
their descendants as may still bless
| our land when age and poverty bring
| them to distress. further that this
| immediate preceding resolution be
| presented at the next meeting OF the
| Confederation at Chattanooga and
| urged for similar action by them. Fur
| Their that the relief committee OF this
