Kentucky Historical Society Box H, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601 George M. Chinn, Director Frank G. Rankin, President June 27, 1972 Superintendent Gettysburg Battlefield Gettysburg, Pa. 17325 Dear Mr. Superintendent: The Commonwealth of Kentucky would like to place on the field at Gettysburg a marker dedicated to the native sons of the state, Union and Confederate, who fought in the great battle there. The purpose of this letter, then, is to ascertain whether or not you are agreeable, a site available, and if so, whether you will select the place. Perhaps these facts should be mentioned. The last regular General Assembly appropriated five thousand dollars for Kentucky markers at Shiloh and Gettysburg. This means that only two thousand five hundred dollars are available for a marker at Gettysburg. Obviously, an imposing marble monument is out of the question. However, we do business with a firm in Marietta, Ohio, which executes our historic highway markers – aluminum with green background and gold letters (not expected to tarnish). This company is in position to help us considerably. It made a large marker, affixed to stone, for the battlefield at Perryville; indeed an impressive and beautiful, as well as enlightening memorial. For your sympathetic consideration and help in this matter, we shall be most grateful. Sincerely, George M. Chinn Director
