Description
English:

Typed letter, black text on white paper.

Mr. Smith writes “I beg to advise you that the Virginia Commission at Gettysburg was under the impression that the inscription: VIRGINIA TO HER SOLDIERS AT GETTYSBURG THEY FOUGHT FOR THE FAITH OF THEIR FATHERS was included in the letter of approval of September 13th, 1910 from the Secretary of War.” “Upon possession of information that it was not recognized that the inscription had been considered by the Gettysburg National Military Commission, they (VGC), as soon as practicable, assembled to submit an inscription and I duly reported to you their action in my letter of March 29th.” Mr. Smith will submit the subject of the inscription to the VGC without delay.
