The commander asked all members to think about the suggestion and report at the next meeting. This is the only camp named for Henry L. Wyatt, and the commander said that he wanted to take his camp in a body to the laying of the corner stone of the Henry L. Wyatt monument, which will be erected in Raleigh early in the coming year.
