making the coming Reunion ire
imendous record-breaking success.
1T takes money to finance an AFFAIR
of such proportions, which is largely
a social and entertaining one, and
|Southerners and Westinghouse
should join hands in handling the
levent. Personages we'll known in
public life, many northern and west
ern men, have already by their let
tiers and contributions evinced their
spirit of fellowship, good will anu
public sentiment.
The Finance Committee, evolved
out of general organization of bust
ness and professional men OF Wash
ington, representing the leading &C
tivities, serving without personal
profit and enthusiastic in the carrying
out of arrangements, asks the sub
stantial cooperation of all business
interests and individuals in the
Southland, periodically and senti-
mentally inclined, to participate IN
the movement to make the Reunion
a magnificent celebration at the Ma
tional Capital. 1t has devised meth
dds to secure from every business
and profession, collective, or indivi-
dual assistance in producing the
$50 900, or more, estimated to be
necessary to meet the expense OF
such an extensive affair. Every dol
lar will be used in the interest OF the
Confederate Veterans, every expendl-
ture audited, all contributors and
amounts listed and made public, and
any balance returned, pro rata, to
contributors. Thus, in this Southern
cooperation, all will have a part in
making this National event a con-
spicuously brilliant success. The
railroads of the South have conceded
a sentimental rate of one cent mile
for the Reunion. There will be enter
tainment galore and everything will
be done to give the Veterans rous-
ing welcome during the reunion week.
The Finance committee accordingly
asks the Alexandria Gazette to assist
in securing total subscriptions of
5000 as the contribution of the cltl-
zens of alexandria and vicinity
to be raised either by starting a frnd
in the daily news columns, by or
ranization Of citizens. or in whatever
way is deemed best. Other interests
and localities in the South are being
called upon likewise.
The responses should De made i'm
mediately so that the reunion plans
may be proceeded with by the exccu-
tive, publicity, and various commit
tees that arc to manage the occa-
sion.
Thanking you in advance,
Your very truly,
