Dear Officers, staff, and members of the Independent Guard Battalion,
I wish to extend an invitation to all of you to attend a Civil War Event at Rockome Gardens in Arcola, Ill. It is located about 15 minutes west of Billie Creek, and is to be held on the old B.C. weekend of June 8-9. I know some of you have plenty of travel plans already made for the season. I have been invited to be Confederate Field Commander, and so wanted to include those of you who may not be going to the 150 events to come out and rout the Yankees in their own backyard. You can go to their website to get further information.
I remain
your obedient servant,
Dave Julian, Col., I.G.B.
