To Qua AuxILIAsIus Tho greatly in
creased demands for Hospital Stores, and
especially for OdiblSu, inpsls uS Sgalp 10 ap.
peal to you, and through you, 70 ell friends
Of tho soldiers, for that assistance, without
which We must despair Of succsstfully min
i5tering 10 their comfort. -. ...
The many letters and reliable statements
we daily receive, are painfully convincing
Of the urgent necessity for renewed effort on
the part Of all loyal citizens. We are aware
that newspaper items telllng Of loss and
waste of stores tend TO discourage patriotic
efforts ell over the country, but II these re-
ports are true in some rare instances, since
We knOi0 that some are rendered comfortable
by such labors, can we sit idly by2
But as regards the beneiscti0na Of this So
oieiy and its Auxiliarie', We have no reason
to believe that any thing forwarded by US has
been either lost, wasted, or misapplied. Our
receipts from responsible persons, our knowl-
edge Of surgeons and nurses, and the many
letters of gratitude from those benefited,
forbid us to think that our work is useless.
Do not, dear friends, forget that we are en-
listed for the war, and that having put our
hand 10 the plOW We must not look beck
Let US 20 on faithfully and earnestly, trust
ing that the dawn of brighter day is near
at hand, and that we shall soon see q reign |
Of peace and happiness in our own distracted |
country.

In this time Of extremity we feel con-
strained to ask help especially from the
FARHERs of the North. Msny Of the articles
are suSh as they raise in abundance. Their
sons have come up noblY 10 the rescue. The
fathers and brothers. sisters and mothers,
may save many from an untimely grave by
sending delicscies that Government does not
provide, and without which our Surgeons
Jay it is almost impossible TO raise those
who are stricken by disease.
Very respectfully,
SOLDIERS AID SOCIETY.

I'VE append the following letter, as well
or its general interest, as another evidence
# the usefulness Of this sOciety.-EDs.

70 the Ladies' of the Soldiers Aid Society,
Cleveland, Ohio;
Through the kindness Of DR.. Weber, we
ave received at these Barracks seventeen
iackages of supplies from your Society.
These articles are exceedingly Welcome

Oldiers at this point. Without seeing, you
an hardly realize the want, misery and
estitution of our soldiers who come into S
be General Hospital in the rear Of our s
oFces; on the field it is still worse. 1t is 1
ot unusual to see strong men 30 prostrsted /
y disease and wounds as to weep like chill I
rem in view of their own and comrades
ufering. Under such circumstances you
nay well conceive how grateful to the heart
( the weary sufferers sre the memories and T
ssoeiations which such kindness and COM !
niseration call to mind, to cay nothing of /,
be relief to physical need which the sup
lies afISrd. Your pEOmptitnde in respond
lg to the calls Of humanity from this quar-
u made nae proud to claim kindred with !.
on through 8 common ancestry in New
lngland, and always one voice, in addition
0 that of the poor soldier, will be raised to
roclsim the only Tedeeming featnre--the
My bright spot on the horizon of the deep
loom that Overspreads our now stricken Q
ountry--and that is the noble kindness and 2
slf-sacrifes OF the women Of the Northern {
tates. The voice Of aJ- @ "a c
Your obedient seFEant, a zae 4
