to find it. "I shall yet raise it above the State house," he said to them. They threatened him with death, and he bade them do their worst. His hour of triumph came when the troops under Buell entered Nashville. He told soldiers the story of " Old Glory," brought it out, went with them to the roof of the State house and flung it to the breeze with the men in blue swinging their caps and shouting their hurrahs !”—Drumbeat of the Nation.-CHarles C. Coffin.

Attention is cailed to the “Letter to Chapters," in the May Magazine. Up to this date very few replies have been received.

Correct records cannot be kept at headquarters without the coöperation of every Chapter.

Very few Directories are left unsold. Chapters not yet supplied should send at once.

LETTERS FROM FRIENDS OF THE SOCIETY.

MY DEAR MRS. LOTHROP :

STATE HOUSE, BOSTON, July 1, 1895.

The lessons of patriotism and lofty citizenship cannot be inculcated too early into the minds of the youth of America-devotion to country-its institutions and its purposes-must mean good will to all men and inure to the benefit of the whole world. An organization calculated to promote noble ideals of patriotic duty deserves to be fostered and encouraged. Sincerely yours, FREDERICK T. GREENHALGE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., 1405 I ST., June 29, 1895.

MY DEAR MRS. LOTHROP :

Your very kind and cordial letter reached me this morning and I wish I might tell you in reply that I could be with you on the Fourth of July in the Old South Meetinghouse, Boston, but it really is impossible—my husband will then, I trust, be on his way home; he expects to land on next Monday and will come to me as soon as the trains can bear him-so I must not leave home for either duty or pleasure.

Please convey my greetings to the dear children whom we all love so much, and on whom our future depends, and give my regrets at not being able to see them in person.

Accept my thanks, my dear Mrs. Lothrop, for your kind invitation to rest at "The Wayside.' I know it would be most charming and I trust sometime I may have that pleasure.

I am very sorry to find it will be entirely impossible for me to be in Boston on the Fourth of July. Let me tell you now, therefore, what I

should take pleasure in saying if I were able to be present, that I believe great good will come from the National Society of the Children of the American Revolution. Its foundation is a gratifying illustration of the growing interest in the history of our country, and I have no doubt that its worth will be of great help in extending and strengthening the influence of the courses of historical study already begun at the Old South Meetinghouse. As I was myself the one to begin this work in 1879, I am naturally interested in whatever is likely to advance and extend it. Very sincerely yours,

THE GOOD WORK GOES ON.

JOHN FISKE.

MRS. CUTHBERT H. SLOCOMB, the chairman of the Children of the American Revolution committee of the Anna Warner Bailey Chapter, called a meeting at the Monument House on Tuesday, July 9, and formed the fourth Society in New London County, under Miss Mary Jane Avary and Miss Bouse as president and assistant. This Society is named “Colonel Ledyard," after our fort's brave martyr.

Yesterday, July 18, Mrs. Slocomb met a lovely group of children in Stonington Borough, at Mrs. Franklin B. Noyes's home, when the fifth Society was immediately organized with Mrs. Noyes as president, and Miss Emily Wheeler, assistant. The children unanimously decided for the name "William Latham, Jr.," known in history as the "Powder Monkey," and will doubtless become known most creditably as the Powder Monkey Lathams ere long. The youngest soldier in Fort Griswold, we are told, was twelve or fourteen years of age, and carried himself throughout the fight as a working hero.

IN MEMORIAM.

MRS. SARAH ANDERSON KENDRICK.

"DEATH loves a shining mark," and on July 5, 1895, Sarah Anderson Kendrick was called to her eternal rest.

Hers was indeed an interesting figure among us; of great historical interest, because she was a living link between that great struggle for independence begun in 1776, and our organization, national in its character, which is to perpetuate and keep alive the memory of those days.

She was a real Daughter of the Revolution, her father being Richard Clough Anderson, who was born at Goldmine, Hanover County, Virginia, January 12, 1750. He entered the Revolutionary Army as a captain in the Fifth Virginia, Continental Line; was promoted major First Regiment, Continental Line; major Third Regiment, Continental Line; lieutenant colonel of the Sixth Regiment, Continental Line, of Virginia. He served as aid-de-camp to General the Marquis de Lafayette, between whom and himself a warm personal friendship existed. During the war he performed some very difficult services, and was a prisoner of war in the Charleston prison for nine months. He was one of the original members of the Society of the Cincinnati, and after the war was appointed surveyor general and brigadier general of militia. He was married first to Miss Clark, of Virginia, and his second wife was Miss Sarah Marshall, of the old Marshall family of Caroline (originally Westmoreland) County, the same State. His second wife was a cousin of his first, and also a direct descendant of the Clarks. On receiving his appointment he settled in Jefferson County, Kentucky, and built the first stone residence known to have been built in the State. He called his home "Soldier's Retreat," because, with true Virginia hospitality, he made of it a veritable retreat for his old comrades in arms.
