The following letter has been addressed by
the Committee appointed for that purpose, to
the Mayors of the several towns and cities
SIR, '" 1919
A few days ago, the town of PETERSBURG
was prosperous and aourishing--commerc e
crowded its wlarves-a busy population
thrOnged it's streets-aud new buildings, daily
erected, announced its INCREASING wealth and
Importance.
In one awful night the whole scene was
changed FIRE, the most fierce and dcsolas-
ing which has ever afflicted a town in Virgil
ria, has involved the larger portion of our
citizens in distress, and reduced many among
them to beggary
Or those who escaped the confiagratioa,
many have received the sufferers under their
roofs have furnished raiment to the naked
and TODD TO the hungry and have as far as
they have been able, soothed the wailines of
atfiicton, and hushed the lamentations of des-
pair. We have also set on foot, among those
who did not suffer from the calamity, sub
scrIption for voluntary contributors IN money,
Io have exaoted such contributions from
those who had lost great part Of their own
property, would have been cruel and uBfeei-
ing.
The meney raised by these means may
alleviate distress for the moment But our
poor must be provided for during tie ensuing
autumn and winter; and our limited means
are insufficient for the purpose.
The subscribers, therefore, in the name
and on the behalf of their fellow townsmen.
apply to you soliciting that you viii adopt
such measures as may appear expedicnt, to
obtain moderate additional contributions from
your feliow-citzens. The contributors will
find their reward in the appreciation of their
own feelings. the gratitude Of the sufferers,
the orphans blessing and the widows pray
ers.
A Committee has been appointed to re-
Ceive and distribute the contributions among
those who are REAL objects of Charity and
your communications will be addressed TO JoHE
OSBORNE, Esq. as the first named member
OF that committee.
With sentiments of respect, we subscribe
ourselves.
