Mr. James B. Myers, Superintendent
Gettysburg National Military Park
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Dear Mr. Myers: 
The Texas State Historical Survey Committee and the Texas Civil War Centennial Commission wish to place a historical marker commemorating the role played by Texas Confederate troops in the Civil War action at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
We have corresponded with your Washington office and understand that arrangements for this marker should be made through you.  A copy of our most recent letter from Mr. Jackson T. Price in Washington is enclosed.
We have written Mr. Price to inform him that the marker we propose will not be of grey granite, but of Texas pink granite.  The proposed design and specifications for the marker are enclosed for your examination.  
We will of course submit the proposed inscription to you for your consideration.
We will appreciate your marking the location proposed by you and the architect on a map of the Park and sending it to us for our consideration.  It will also be appreciated if you can inform us about monument firms in your area which may be able to assist us in erecting the marker.</p>
