38. Gettysburg National Military Park Supt. Letter to Indiana Gettysburg Memorial Commission, March 4, 1970.

Typed Document

Gettysburg National Military Park Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 17325 D66 March 4, 1970 Mr. Thurman M. DeMoss 49 West Madison Street Franklin, Indiana 46131 Dear Mr. DeMoss: Attached is a proposed revision of a text for the Indiana Monument. We used the official unit designation so that there is no question as to the units. The statement on the previous text has been changed to eliminate any reference to “first casualty” and “first death”. We do not have sufficient proof to verify the statements, nor do we think that the statements can be verified. We hope the proposed text revisions meet with the approval of your committee. Sincerely yours, George F. Emery Superintendent Enclosure TJHarrison:bd 3/4/70
