(Society of the Colonial Wars coat-of-arms)				March 16, 1920


My dear Mr. Hill:

	In reply to your letter of the fourth,
I would say that, according to the notes submitted by
you, the following would be eligible propositi for the
Society of the Colonial Wars in Virginia: Philip Walker.
John Howland, John (?) Tilley, George Dennison, Jonathan
Wilmarth.  The enclosed paper, however, will inform you
as to exactly what constitutes an eligible ancestor.

	It is, strictly speaking, required that
the applicant be known personally to his two endorsers:
but I may whisper that the rule has not always been
enforced, and that letters of recommendation would be
acceptable.

			Yours faithfully,
				James Branch Cabell

Dumbarton Grange

Dumbarton, Virginia
