Lee by this association. Preparing the site. September I, 1887, an engineer of the association was employed, and a contract was awarded to Messrs. Philips & Ford for excavating and grading, at $450. The engineer was directed to correspond with Mr. Caspar Buberl, a New York sculptor, and to employ him to cut the scroll work around the plinth of the pedestal, which was done. On June 15, 1887, the treasurer reported that the funds in hand amounted to $55,972.56. The following letter was laid before the committee in December of the same year by Governor Lee: My Dear Governor,—I send you a draft on New York for $1,000 as my contribution to the m

rbearance in its formation, and surrounded it with so many guards and securities, if it were intended to be broken by every member of the Confederacy at will. It is intended for perpetual union, so expressed in the preamble, and for the establishment of a government (not a compact) which can only be dissolved by revolution, or by the consent of all the people in convention assembled. It is idle to talk of secession. Anarchy would have been established, and not a government, by Washington, Hamilton, Madison, and all the other patriots of the Revolution. Still an Union that can only be maintained by swords and bayonets, and in which strife and civil war are to take the place of brotherly love and kindness, has no charms for me. I shall mourn for my country and for the welfare and progress of mankind. If the Union is dissolved and the government disrupted I shall return to my native State and share the miseries of my people, and, save in defense, will draw my sword no more. This l

ed the Ladies' Lee Monument Association. Their design was to erect a monument to the great chieftain in this city, and to collect funds for the purpose throughout the South. The organization was constituted as follows: President, Mrs. William H. Macfarland; vice-presidents, Mrs. George W. Randolph, Mrs. James Lyons, Mrs. William Brown; treasurer, Miss Elizabeth Byrd Nicholas; secretary, Miss Sarah Nicholas Randolph. Despite the prevailing poverty of the people of the South, and the ents proposed that on the days of religious worship observed throughout the South, every congregation, Christian and Hebrew, make their contributions for this object. It is hoped the requisite amount will be secured at once. (Signed) Mrs. William H. Macfarland, Mrs. George W. Randolph, Mrs. James Lyons, Mrs. William Brown and Miss E. B. Nicholas. The next day, and of the same materials, was formed the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia, whose annual meetings have done so much to

med eyes, In homage of the hero Lee, The good, the great, the wise; And at his name our hearts will leap Till his last old soldier dies. Ask me, if so you please, to paint Storm winds upon the sea; Tell me to weigh great Cheops– Set volcanic forces free; But bid me not, my Countrymen, To picture Robert Lee! As Saul, bound for Damascus fair, Was struck blind by sudden light, So my eyes are pained and dazzled By a radiance pure and white Shot back by the burnished armor Of that glory-belted Knight. His was all the Norman's polish And sobriety of grace; All the Goth's majestic figure: All the Roman's noble face: And he stood the tall exemplar Of a grand historic race. Baronial were his acres where Potomac's waters run; High his lineage, and his blazon Was by cunning heralds done; But better still he might have said Of his ‘works’ he was the ‘son.’ Truth walked beside him always From his childhood's early years, Honor followed as his shadow— Valor lightened all his cares; And he
