Dear Library Director:
On Sunday, January 5, 1992, at 4 p.rirTV"ffiississippi Educational Television will air Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College's 29 minute video documentary, Beauvoir:	Memorial to the Lost Cause. We cordially invite you to tape the
production off the air and make it a permanent part of your media collection.
Feel free to make as many copies as you wish.
Beauvoir; Memorial to the Lost Cause is a public service production available to anyone who wishes to tape it. For this reason we invite you to post nnt-irps in all of your installations. If we have not included enough flyers, please feel free to xerox any number you wish. In addition to libraries we are particularly interested in reaching teachers. Since we have no way to notify them in time, and since this is likely to be the only time the program will air, we would much appreciate your aid in this endeavor.
If by any chance your system possesses information, images or artifacts us related to Beauvoir or to the Confederate soldiers or widows who lived there, we would appreciate being told.
I would also appreciate copies of any information that you might possess jregarding Confederate monuments, cemeteries and graves in your county. I am particularly interested in the Confederate monuments erected at the turn of the ^ century in county seats usually near courthouses. I wish to amass any and all information and images that I can obtain in regard to these monuments.
A few months ago I extracted all information related to these monuments contained in the forty volume series of Confederate Veteran Magazine (published 1893-1932). Profiles of the monuments in approximately half the counties in the state were secured in this manner. If you will send me what you have, I will send you what I have on your monuments (if, indeed I have anything). Some of the monument profiles in Confederate Veteran Magazine are quite extenjive and contain photos, etc. -- others are very short.
