Ny Dear Mrs. Barney: l am very
sorry that shall no. be able to ac-
company you TO the ladies' meeting this
afternoon.
The view 1 intended to express to
you is that in case the question OF
plans and estimates is still an open one,
the ladies, l think, might save them
selves IL good deal or trouble by re-
questing committee of our young
engineers to act for them Messrs. AL
fred l.. Rives. Edward -. L Myers,
Charles Fl. DimmocK, Albert Lybrock
and Edward Lorraine ! should consider
very suitable committee They might
be authorized and requested to decide
upon a plan after visit to the Gene
terry, TO appoint superintendent under
them. to lay off the ground, and to
direct how the work is to be executed.
either by volunteers or a few hired for
the occasion 1t is probable that the
city force OF carts. teams. tools. etc.
might be obtained by loan. This has
reference only TO laying off and pre-
pairing the grounds--preserVing the In
dividuallty OF the graves as a sine qua
non. The same committee might be au-
thorizcd to decide upon and contract
for headstones or other suitable desig-
nation of the separate graves. Also to
adopt and recommend to the ladies for
their approval plan Of monument or
monuments, to be hereafter erected by
general contribution from all Of the
Southern States. / Will with pleasure
attend this meeting. and aid them by
any suggestion of my own, and &c con-
sidered desirable an advisory conf
mittee OF the ladies might also be APP
pointed.
In this way, IL seems to me, the busi-
ness may be brought to point, and
everything made ready for the ccIe-
bration on the 3lst.
Mir. Hugh r. Peasants will repeat
his lecture on Richmond, IL desired
dividing the net proceeds for the bene-
1T OF the association. Mr.. John Tyler
Jr., might also, | think be invited to
deliver a lecture on his recollections
of the Governors home in aid of the
association.
Please excuse the great hurry in
which l write for your own eye, and
believe me, with great respect.
