THADDEus HYATT. ESQ, Dear Sir.
AIN sorry to learn that certain reports
have bee a ycirculated east through the.
newspapers, that We are not in want of
aid from abroad - .s~s6,z z-ss. ?. - X
The facts, so far as I am acquainted,
(and preach in the NJ +. Church, and
have thisfor my circuit are distressing
Scores of families have raised, nothing,
and have nothing to fall back upon, and
are now waiting in anxious suspense, for
the expected aid from you, not only in
food, but in clothing. What little corn
there is, is not fit for bread on account
Of the worm. --.--,.,. -
There are daily callers at our town,
inquiring, in anxious solicitude, to know
what you are doing, and to know if any
thing can be done to help them in their
present extremity. Hundreds of fami-
lies will have to leave unless help comes
soon, and others are not able to leave
Without help, they must starye and
freeze. for want Of food and clothing.
