Harriman, Tennessee,
                             March 16, 1921.

Hon. John Collins Daves,
214 Chamber of Commerce,
Baltimore, Mc.

My dear Mr. Daves:-Enclosed you will please find the
application for membership in the N.C. Society of the
Cincinnati, of Mr. Polk Tarwater of Rockwood, Tennessee.

With it is a copy of the line of ascent of Mr. Tarwater
to Capt. William Sumter, brother of Col. Thomas Sumter,
which I will ask you to fill in on the application
blank,  Also a sketch on the Sumter family and the
booklet on Col. Sumter, by Judge Smith, to be filed with
Mr. Tarwater’s papers.

I am not enclosing Mr. Tarwater’s check for membership
fee, till notice of his election has been sent, at which
time it will be forwarded at once.  The notice may be
sent direct to him or to me.

I regret to say that I do not expect to attend the
annual meeting on April 23rd, as I am laid up with a
sprained ankle at this time.  The Doctors say it may be
weeks before I can get about again.

Thanking you again for past favors and hoping to meet
you personally some time, I am,

Sincerely yours,


CKH/K
