APPEAL TO THE U. d. c. CHAP.
TIERS.

Dear Daughters:
! l intended sending you a message
through the March edition of "Our
Heritage" but illness in my family
prevented; SO l am making a desper-
ate effort to get this ready for the
April edition. In this age of rush, you
know how difficult it is to attend to
the many things that claim our time
and attention. l regret that l could
not reach you earlier for our COM
mittee was anxious that all chapters
in the Division be fully informed of
the distressing condition prevailing
among your homeless and destitute
Confederate people, in order that they
might send their delegates to the con-
vention which meets in Greenwood
next month instructed to make gen.
erous pledges to the Maintenance
Fund" The winter just passed was the
most severe since this committee was
created, six years ago, and in conse
quence, the demands upon it have been
many and urgent, and unfortunately,
far beyond its power to meet. Twice
the treasury has been exhausted, since
our last convention, and the situation
was indeed deplorable.
Now u committee appeals to the
president Of each chapter, to bring
this important question before her
chapter and to use every influence to
secure a pledge from it, commensurate
with its ability, to aid in this worthy
cause.
Again, we say to you, that educa-
ton and monuments have their place
in the plan Of our civilization, but GER
u first care and duty is to
those of Gods unfortunate people,
Who suffer in the 1esh,especially,i if they
be of our own household, as are these
sick and homeless Confederate men
and women, a remnant of those brave
souls, who, with such fortitude upheld
the cause of our dear Southland.
If you only knew with what conf
lence these helpless ones turn to the
Daughters" in their hour of need,
you would buckle on your armor and
prepare to be worthy of their faith
in you.

Chm Maintenance Com.
