<br />
<br />llth - ~I am in receipt of the following letter, which I have been request-
<br />Council:
<br />
<br />'As President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and on
<br />behalf of the chapter members, I wish to register the strong
<br />opposi~ti0n of the chapter to the removal of the Confederate monu-
<br />ment o~ Court Street.
<br /> The m&n~ment is a memorial to the Portsmouth men who fought and died
<br />for their native state and Confederacy. The monument represents a tre-
<br /> mendous struggle to raise funds for its erection. The monument is one
<br /> of the distinctive land marks of Portsmouth. Many cities would be glad
<br /> to have the historical background that Portsmouth enjoys.
<br /> All of the large cities have monuments in the middle of their lead-
<br />ing streets and yet the leaders have not found it necessar~y to ha~e
<br />them mo~ed.
<br /> Trusting that you and the Council will give this mat~e~ favorable'~oon-
<br />sideration, I remain~
<br /> Respectfully yours,
<br />
<br /> Mary E.Mills~ President,
<br />Portsmouth Chapter Daughters
<br />Confederacy.~
