The committee have at their room boxes and
barrels, to be forwarded early in the week to st.
Louis and Louisville.
The above list shows that the women of
Worcester and vicinity work earnestly and
give freely; and that they may feel sure they
are not laboring in yaiD we will quote from
letter, dated Dec. II, received a few days since
from Rev. DIR. w. 6. Eliot, OF the sanitary
commission, ST. Louis, Mo. He says ;-"The
boxes and barrels arrived in good order few
days ago, and the contents are in full use. We are
having hard time here, and heavy burden
to bear; but the New England women are
source of great aid and comfort" The COM
mitee have also received letter dated Dec.
10, from Rev. j. H. Haywood, formerly of this
city, but now of Louisville, acknowledging the
receipt of box of hospital supplies, in which
he says 81 thank you with all my heart for
the generous and timely contribution made by
the Worcester ladies. The box came
in due season, aud the articles were
most welcome. My native town, always
very dear, becomes dearer slil because
of this new aud touching proof OF the
readiness of its inhabitants to contrib
ute freely of time and means to promote ths
great cause of humanity. We have large
number of sick soldiers here now, and the
number constantly increases Tho Union La
dies OF our city are working very hard, and
the ladies of Cleveland, Ohio, and many other
places, ale assisting generously; but with the
efforts of all we are still deficient in hospital
shirts, drawers, socks, sheets, &C.. Ii, as you
kindly intimate, the Worcester ladies', in addi-
ton to what they have already done for the
hospitals in St. Louis, here, and elsewhere, can
! help supply the deficiency, any contribution
will be gratefully received"
The same letter brought an urgent appeal
| from the Sanitary Commission of ST. Louis,
| stating that there are now in the military
! hospitals of St. Louis not less than $500 sick,
and at least 1850 in the various post hospitals
on the lines of the railroads in Missouri. They
call for warm garments of every kind for
hospital use and for the convalescent: warm,
uubleached cotton shirts, flannel, and canton.
flannel undershirts and drawers, socks, blan-
kets, comlorters, and other kinds of hospital
stores and clothing.
We call attention TO the fact that box is
to be sent from the rooms of the committee
on Wednesday next, for the prisoners at Rich.
mond. The committee have been informed
there are about two hundred prisoners from
the fifteenth regiment, at Richmond, who are
in need Of quilts, blankets, flannel under-gar-
ments, and, indeed, warm clothing of all
kinds.
We are also requested to state that box
of blankets, OF which many members of the
twenty fifth regiment stand greatly in mood
