Gordon, Grand Commander, has issued a ringing order to all the Confederate veterans, urging their help in the establishment of this park. VI.

Recently the War Department has sent a detail from the Quartermaster-General's Department to these fields at the suggestion of the Military committees of the two houses of Congress to report upon the practicability of establishing this park, and it is an open fact that a favorable report will be made in favor of the establishment of this park.
