The Lee monument Association has done the secretary of the Southern Historical Society the honor of electing him to the secretaryship of the Association, made vacant by the resignation of Colonel S. Bassett French.
We propose to do all in our power to push this grand work to completion, and bespeak the active co-operation of admirers of the great chieftan every-where.
We have a proposition from one of the most devoted followers of Lee to be one of fifty persons to give five hundred dollars each to secure at once a sum which would justify the beginning of the work. Can we not find forty-nine more who will respond to this proposition?
Meantime, subscriptions, large or small, from individuals or from associations would be acceptable.
Any information concerning the Lee Monument Association can be obtained by addressing Rev. J. Wm. Jones, Secretary, box 61, Richmond, Va.
