from Department Adjutant Robert

The local post won first place in

"s The records show that
Brownsville was the best outfit in
the competition. they were award
Cd first place money and the cham
pionship Of the state. The banner
can only go TO the highest ranking
100 per cent corps, and was there
fore given to Austin, after their
protest on the Brownsville member
ship technicality. Hope this may
help in clearing up the misunder-
standing. and assure you that we
all appreciate the splendid showing
and the record OF your drum and
bugle corps, and no one regrets
more than the headquarters force
the entire incident.
with best wishes to you and the
Legionnaires at Brownsville, and
trusting we will see you all at BoS-
ton. I remain. as ever,
Robert o. Whitaker"
