Returning Confederate flags.
John Lamb.
On April 30th, 1887, R. C. Drum, Adjutant General, addressed a letter to Hon. William C. Endicott, then Secretary of War, calling attention to the fact that a number of Confederate flags, which the fortunes of war had placed in the hands of the government at Washington, were stored in the War Department.
He suggested in an able letter the propriety of returning to the regular constituted authorities of the respective States the flags that esident of this city, is well equipped for his task.
The other, so well known and loved in this Common—wealthher able chief magistrate—and one of her finest orators, will receive these emblems on behalf of the State he loves so well and serves so faithfully.
The pleasing task assigned me has been performed in a spirit of veneration for the past, of gratitude for the present, and an abiding faith in the future of this noble Commonwealth.
These flags are committed to her keeping. John Lamb
