Excerpt from Memorials of the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati
In this connection it is proper to state that the portrait of Mr. Cobb, President of the Massachusetts Society, was furnished upon the special request of the Standing Committee; and that the portrait of Mr. Fish, President of the General Society, was furnished upon the request of the Publication Committee. A statement in regard to the discrepancies in the various lists of original members which have been printed from time to time, will be found in the Appen dix. It appears that the autograph list of original members contains the names of three hundred and twenty commissioned officers, of whom seventeen did not contribute their month's pay to the principal fund.
