Gettysburg National Military Park
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Dear Supt. Myers;
The purpose of this letter is to express my personal appreciation and the General Organization, Sons of Confederate Veterans, for the wonderful hospitality and warm welcome extended the Georgia Hall of Fame and Centennial Group from Georgia.
Both our good Governor Hon. S. Ernest Vandiver and our gracious Committee Chairman Mrs. Forrest E. Kibler had looked forward to this historical occasion, we all were sorry illness prevented her from attending. We all appreciate the nice remarks you made concerning her.
Although our stay in your good City and State were short, we shall ever remember the occasion, the monument dedication, associated with you and Regional Director Mr. Ronald F. Lee and your staff, the wonderful tour over Gettysburg National Military Park, and the luncheon at the famous Gettysburg Hotel.
We Sons of Confederate Veterans, under the fine leadership of our good Commander-in-Chief Hon Rudolph H. Waldo, our Georgia Division Commander Hon. T. Carlon Carter and other members of the Organizations were honored to have a small part in this historical dedication, of Monuments to Georgia Confederate Dead. I trust other States will do like – wise. I have an invitation from our Commander of the Texas Division, SCW, Mr. Frank E. Tritico, Austin 11, Texas, to attend the Dedication of the Texas Monument in Vicksburg National Military Park, Vicksburg, Miss. Saturday November fourth, at two P.M. But will not be able to attend, due to a previous State Ceremony in Georgia.
I am enclosing a small color snapshot, featuring you, Gov. Vandiver, Chas. A. Moran, T. Carlon Carter, and three Union Sons, and myself. I would like to have the names of these three Union Sons, if you know them, or some one who does. I saw the nice photographs you made of the servoce [sic] at the Monument, they were fine. My other color shots were all fine, I should have made some black and white also.
With all personal wishers to you and your fine staff, I am:
Sincerely yours,
[Signed]
