Those who have sent supplies to the COM
mttee, to be forwarded, may be glad to learn
lhaI they have been sent to those places only
where the committee have been called upon
to send them, and where they were known to
be needed-uness directed by the donor to
some particular person Or place. While we
near OF some OF our regiments being abuaddntly
supplied, there are others known not to be
even comfortably supplied = both on the
Potomac and in Missouri, especially in the
latter place. In recent letter from the presi-
dent OF the Western Sanitary Commission, he
says the sick are being brought into the city
(St Louis) daily, By hundreds The five mill
tary hospitals are now full, and more are being
made ready; that while the government fur
nshes Blankets sheets, and pillow cases, all
other things are necessary, and most acceptable
to the poor soldiers who suffer SO much 1t
is the intention of the committee to be sure
they send no supplies where none are needed
but while SO much is needed, and while they
are called upon, as they now are, no lady can
feel that the time has come to rest from those
labors, or grow weary in furnishing those
necessary comforts to the poor sick or wound
ed soldiers. Mrs. S 2. MILLER,
Secretary of Committee.
