LETTER FROM ". +. VI. Army.


DEAR SIR: On my arrival in this city our friends
ca led my attention your letter and in response 10
your questions would say briefly that the suffcrngs
in kar beyond description, ard are the result OF
the rob beries and Ousges committed by Pro Slavery
men Who have endeavored 10 " driSe out the Free
State ciiizeIs. There about 5000 persons who will
require clothing and provisions daring the coming
Winter All clothing should be forwarded previous 10
the 18th day of December that it De sent 10 the
Territory before navigation closes. All packages should
be directed wv. +. NJ Army, No. II Marine Bank
Building, Chicago An invoice OF articles AMI re.
cept Of Shipment should be forwarded TO me directed
above. .
Provisions can be purchased on more reasonable
terms contiguous 10 the Territory than 20 forward them
from the States. Flour j. worth - ~ per sack OF
100 lbs. and other prov lsions IN proportion would
therefore be better 10 send money to purchase proyIs
ions than to send the provisions. Money should be
forwarded to the Secretaries OF the State organizations
of the rec pectye States or 10 the National Committee
at Chicago of which II. b. liurd Is Secretary and c.
W. Dole Treasurer
Tie present arrangements and reorganization Of the
Central Kansas Committee will enable us to resch
every cabin and tent for there many who have no
house to live in, and equably distribute the bounty
Of the friends OF Freedom.
The articles of wearing apparel most required are
boots shOes hats and all kinds of tcoOlen clothing
also blankets, comforts, and other articles for bed
clothing. Many have been robbed Of all the bedding
which ihey carried 10 the Territory. | think that we
have made such arrangements for protection that art
cles 10 the Territory will not again tall into the
hands Of hese who are the enemies of Freedom. And
an fully SATISFIED that y The Free Statc men are
sustained during tkis Uinter IN Kansas hs', uHder
The Dresent organic lac Of the Territory, that fair
land must be Ere Territory You will therefore per-
ceve that the responsibility rests upon the friends Of
Freedom. And If they will literally OF their own alum
dance supply the means TO feed and cohe the hungry
and naked and thus retain them i'll the Territory, II
cannot be Decorated by Slavery.
With the hope that every heart will respond to the
call # tie sufferers who have coneuded tor Freedom
in KaDss am, my dear Sir,
Yours respectfully, W r NJ AhNi'

cially, says the Baton Rouge Gazette of the 18th,
that we have made arrangements to have the pro-

compelled to bring out paper i'll an entirely new
dress and employ double force We hope our efforts
in this behalf will be appreciated.
