 Mrs. J. A. Rountree, president of the Alabama division of the United Daush- ters of the Confederacy, has sent an ur- gent appeal to the various chapters throughout the state to select their dele- gates and to arrange for large attend ance from Alabama at the meeting or the general division of the United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy, which meets in Chattanooga on November 13-17. She has also made a number of suggestions in regard to the work of the Alabama di- vision during the coming month and espe- cially urged the Daughters to take steps to give the old veterans Christmas tree with useful gifts during the holiday season. Her official letter in regard to this work is as follows:
 Dear Daughters: l am enclosing ln- formation in regard to the meeting Of the general convention to be held in Chat tanooga November 13, 1917. Please read very carefully and act accordingly.
 The Alabama division has undertaken to furnish a ward in all army base hos pital fin memory of our Confederate an cestors" and I am anxious to know 1T your chapter will undertake a part of the work. The furnishing of this ward consists of 45 "one-patient equipment, according to Red Cross specifications as follows:
 Three suits of pajamas, four hospital bed shirts, one convalescen gown, four pairs of socks, two pairs bed socks, two bath towels, four face towels, three wash cloths, one pair slippers, six handker- chiefs.
 This is not a very big undertaking for our division and I hope every chapter will respond promptly. Directions for shipping will be sent you upon applica- tion to me Nearly every chapter in the state is already doing Red Cross work and this will only mean concerted action on their part.
 In your eagerness to help the soldier boys do not forget that our first consid- eration shoudl be the care of the veter- ans. They are growing very feeble and the drafting of the young men will leave many without their accustomed means of support. Some will suffer of actual want unless we take steps to prevent such condition. Look well into this matter in your county.
 In addition to the care of the Vet, erans, l wish very much that our chap-R ters would, every one, arrange to give them a Christmas tree. Such an under taking would give untold pleasure and brightness into their lives and mean more to them than we can possibly estimate. Several chapters have already responded eagerly to the suggestion. Will yours do likewise
 Please act at once upon the two above requests and let me know your decision in time to include in my report at Chat tanooga
 The minutes of the Selma convention were unfortunately, delayed far beyond the usual time, but this was due in no way, to any fault of Mrs. Huey, the re- tiring secretary, who had the work in charge. The copy was so late in reach- ing her that it threw the work out of line with the publishers. Being minutes of last year the compiling of same was not the work of the incoming secretary. Mrs. Curtis, nor of the present admin istration.
 Do not fail to return promptly your ere dentials for the Chattanooga convention. We want Alabama represented in full II
