Mr. Lovering,

Dear Sir,

Last year you very kindly permitted us to put up a temporary platform for our orator in front of the Chapel. We would like the same favor this year. We will have it made here, carried out, and put up, and brought back before we leave the grounds. The Rev. Edward E. Hale is to speak for us this year. Please answer at your earliest convenience

Yours truly'

George W. Powers,

Commander Post 15. G.A.R. 117 Franklin Street, Boston, MA
