Prof. James M. Tate, of Pensacola, Fla., now in his eighty-second year, sends the VETERAN a letter, as clearly written as any young fellow could do, better than most, which says was done without glasses. "During the War between the States." he says, "the Tate family was represented by my father and four sons. On April 5, 1919, my brother, Clarence W. Tate, of Whistler, Ala., was buried in the Gonzales Cemetery, leaving me the sole survivor. According to his wishes, he was buried in his Confederate uniform, under Confederate ceremonies, attended by all active members of Camp Ward, No. 10, U. C. V., of Pensacola. I am afraid that my 'campaign' will soon be over, but as long as my sight remains I want to read the VETERAN, which so valiantly defended the righteousness of the cause of the South."
