OMIT patches have been received from num-
ber OF persons not members of the Society with
which they have been credited on our books;
but it would be occupying too much space TO
give the name of each.
Cash received on subscription, will be duly
credited, and included in our next quarterly
report.
We acknowledge our Obligations to the C.
Z. d c. r. R. Co.. for the transportation OF our
supplies free of charge.
We had not designed publishing report of
the doings of our little society, and are aware
that it will not compare favorably, with the re-
suit of similar efforts, in many other localities
and. considering the nature OF the demand, it
seems but mite. indeed; but circumstances
socm TO have rendered it, at least, advisable.
The mode of operations of the 'Aid Societies,
seems to be but partially understood; conse-
.
the MOTIVE of those engaged in soliciting con-
tributions, have been held to view in u false
light; and, believing that the cause is being in
jured, and that our needy soldiers will have 10
experience the sad results, We beg space in y..ur
columns. to make few honest statements: Our
Society" was organized, and still acts, as IN
auxiliary to the "Cleyeland Aid Society,"" or,
as it is now called, the Ladies Soldiers Aid
Society of Northern Ohio and is one of about
two hundred similar branch organizations; all
cooperating with, and sending their contribu-
tions to, the Cleveland Society; and lis mem
bers, aside from their own lavished donations,
perform the double duty of receiving. taking
.charge of, and acknowledging all supplies sent
in, and forwarding them TO the hospitals, when
called for; all of which they accomplish with
IN exaetness, punctuality, and dispatch, which
manilesis in them zeal and devotion worthy
The noble cause; and unwaving confidence, both
in their integrity and ability; and our only re-
gret is that We have not been able to entrnst
greater amount to them for distribution.
The branch Societies, in connection with the
Cleveland Society, (over which Mrs. B. Rouse
so ably presdes) now constitutes a branch OF the
Sanitary Commission, which is also voluntary
and unpaid organization, and through whose
agencies the wants of the hospital are ascertain
ed and supplied; and no one engaged in the en-
terprse, as lar as we have been able 10 ascertain.
receives any remuneration for their services,
other than what is realized as the reward of an
approving conscience; and the more We exam
inc and become acquainted with the plan of
operations, and its results. the stronger are our
convictions, that it is not only the best but the
only sure and efficient mems, by which the ne
cessiiies of the case can be reached. But these
transactions are not being carried on secretly or
in the corner. but lie open for the approval, or
investigate; and for further particulars and con-
hrmailon OF these statements, we reer you 10
the Cleveland papers, and especially, each Mon
day evenings issue of the Herald
Our Society meets every Tuesday, L. M. at
the house of g. c. Griffin, to work for the SOL
diers; and we extend most cordial invitation
to all who are willing to aid in this cause, 10
cooperate with us, and share the pleasure of
doing something for those. who have sacrificed
so much in de fence of our common interests;
and whose privations and suiferings now de-
mand that relief, which we can, at least, in
measure bestow, and which they have right
to expect at our hands. Or il it is not conven-
lent to unite with us, or it it is preferable, let
other townships. or neighborhoods, form them
selves into similar associations; and if any pre-
fer sending their supplies TO the sick Of any par
ticular Regiment, We feel authorized to assure
them that by forwarding them to, "Soldicrs'
Alu Soclely, Jo, Drink St., cleveland, ". dc-
companicd with their request, their wishes will
be promptly complied with. There is now an
increased demand, from the hospital. for crutch-
es; and supply o that very necessary article,
from any person wishing 10 furnish them, will
be thankfully received by Us; or If sent TO the
above address accompanied with the donors
name, be duly acknowledged.
