From 3»jor Stine. I desire through the columns of your paper to reach the veterans in I that county, if you will be good enough to publish this. Free quay-; ters to Posts have been furnished at all of the G. A. R. Encampments un-1 til this one. So you Posts will have to hire halls, as a matter of course there is no city which has «nough halls to quarter all the Posts in the country. lam a personal friend of the chairman. and have an option on several to accommodate my friends if they apply soon enough. A hall large I enough to accommodate one hundred I will cost one hundred dollars, then the cots will be an additional expense so that each veteran will get his accommodations for -S2 or less. I have given this in detail so the Posts there in your county will know just exactly what to figure on. If they go to hotels or boarding houses it will cost them from one to two dollars per day. be sides their board, so they will save from five to ten dollars apiece by taking a hall. If the post in your citv will meet at once ami consult the Posts over the county, it could be ascertained nearly how many would come. There is’ no use in .talking about a~ hall in a month from now. It is -S2.> to bind the contract; the rest on the arrival of the Post I have a hall for 50 people at sso—near the capitol. All the interest I have in it is to be good to my comrades. I got my place in the treasury department by liefriending a boy whom I did not know. He happened to be the son of an intimate friend of General Grant. W hen he was appointed third auditor he saved 3 place for me and sent his son to hunt me up. lu other words, do all the good you can in this life to others it will come back some time, if not to me. to some other person that will be just as well. Come and we will give you a warm welcome. Come anil see the capitol of the great eat nation in the history of the world. 1 on assisted in saving it whether you was with Rosecrans at Stone river, with Sherman on his great campaign from Atlanta to the sea. with Hooker above the clouds, or with Grant at Appomattox there is no difference where vou served the veterans all share alike in the honor of that great struggle which was the most momenteouajone in the history of the world Caesar.
