is now two stories in height. The original was 1 ½ stories. The south side of the building would be sided after the addition is removed. Much material will be salvaged. The basement will be stabilized and the building will be reduced approximately to half its present size. After an estimate of cost is made we can judge whether or not a complete restoration and modernization on the interior can be carried out. Peace Memorial I called the attention of the technicians to the fact that the planners of the Peace Memorial wanted to use granite originally, but that because of a lack of fund, Alabama limestone was decided upon. We agreed to recommend the removal of all limestone except the shaft and replace it with granite. The platform should be water-proofed with a membrane under the pavement. Consideration is to be given the replacement of the Crab Orchard stone with limestone. Exposed reenforcing beneath the structure would be cleared and treated with Gunite. The parking arrangement for the Monument and the planting should be re-studied. We favor running the road in front of the Monument rather than in the rear and arranging parking so the visitors would sit in their car and look toward the Monument. J. Walter Coleman Superintendent

War Department Gettysburg national Park Commission Gettysburg, PA. Sept. 14th, 1910 Dear Col. Nicholson, I hope you are better this morning and I am very sorry you were not with us here, there are about 200 here all told. I suppose there will be more today the Indiana party will be here to Dedicate this Monument sometime today. General Sickles is here, and General Black, both made addresses. General Sickles spoke giving an account of the Military Career of McClellan. He spoke well and for half an hour he seems to be in good health, but cannot get about without help. Captain parker of the Navy is here. There are about 10 Army Corp represented by a few persons each the 9th Corps seems to have the best representation. Professor Himes is here. Major Richardson and Dr. Worthington left here for Gettysburg last night. I will return Tuesday or Wednesday. In the language of Bob Sawyer the ground here is too good to leave in a hurry. (only he said Ale/Abe). The oration of Dr. Nillis is probably one of the more masterful ever delivered. Respectfully, E. B. Cope
