Description
English:

White paper with typed black text and a handwritten signature

Chairman Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Commission Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Dear Chairman: In 1965, the Arkansas Legislature passed Act #275 creating the Arkansas Gettysburg Memorial Commission, providing for the erection of a monument to Arkansas personnel (3rd Arkansas Infantry Confederate States Army) and all others who participated in the Battle of Gettysburg and to make an appropriation of money for the payment therefor. I respectfully request any information, historical facts, completion date of Memorial and photographs that you can afford me in response to this act as mentioned above. I am going to visit the Valley Forge Memorial, 17 September 1969, and was trying to arrange a visit to Gettysburg, but the crowded schedule will not permit. I trust you can afford me the above mentioned request. With personal regards and best wishes. Sincerely, Charles H. Wilson Major General The Adjutant General
