Of Confederate records in this depart

not show the names of many of the
officers and enlisted men who served
in the various organizations of the

often had to the military records of
the State in which the applicants an

some other source. However. such
data is secured as early as possible
and the appIicati ton acted upon at the

times special meeting is called for
the purpose of acting upon applica-

such applications pending before this

applicants will bear these facts in
mind when their applications are de-
