My dear Mrs. Burney, <br /><br />
<br /><br />
You have the card I wrote the other day suggesting that the next work of the Children be the Winnie Davis Memorial Scholarship, honoring the "Child of the Confederacy" for she was born in the Executive Mansion, during the War Between the States. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Meeting at Biloxi, so near Beauvoir, where every association is that of the Davis family, it appears a peculiarly appropriate time for the inauguration of this special memorial, In suggesting that the next united work of the Children be education I am actuated as I told you in Mobile, by a desire to have the C of C familiar with, and interested in every department of the U.D.C. Their first work was very appropriately memorial, the first work of the U.D.C. was monument building; but their present work is largely educational, and the future will be entirely educational and historical. After the completion of the scholarship I think they the children should take up some special historical enterprise, but that is to be considered later. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
I suggest therefore, the recommendation as a part of your report, of the Winnie Davis Memorial Scholarship. I suggest that it be 1, 000.00 I believe the Children can stand that amount, and as you know I am opposed to giving them so large a sum as to discourage them. That it be loaned that it be not an endowed but a straight scholarship, that it be administered by the Committee on Education in like manner as the U.D.C. Scholarships, and that it become operative as soon as soon as there is as much

Postcard from Ollie Bailey Mourning to Madge Burney

An unnamed speech written by Madge Burney for the United Daughters of the Confederacy. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Madam President, Honored Guest, and Daughters of the Confederacy:<br /><br />
<br /><br />
It is indeed a great privilege to have so distinguished and lovely a body of women within our gates. To be a Daughter of the Confederacy is the most elegant tribute a patriotic woman can pay her confederate ancestry and is a vindication of Confederate History. before all of the world. When a question is asked "Is there still a Dixie," let the answer be "Look at the vast throng of the Daughters of the Confederacy and doubt it if you dare.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Let me ask you to keep the sacredness of our work even before you. Remembering always that we are a sisterhood of earnest women striving to fulfill God's teaching that we honour our Fathers.
