20 the Aid Societies of Wisconsin

Editors State Journal.
Allow me to say 10 the Aid Societies OF
Wisconsin, through your paper, that there
are many things much needed among the
sick and wounded in hospital, which are
at this time sent in least quantities. There
is lack Of white cloths or rags With
which to dress wounds, an immediate
supply of which is much needed, more
than any other kind of clothing. I wish
also to say that as now is the season for
fruits, that attention to that matter is
also necessary, and that canned fruits,
when the soldier can get them, are very
beneficial, and either canned or dried
fruits are worth more than medicine. If
the several Aid Societies will just attend
to the matter now, in its season, much
good may be done. II sent here for dis
tribution, it should be directed to me as
PRESIDENT State agent" and not as SANTA
ry agent" Whatever is sent, let it te
plainly marked, q receipt taken, and the
receipt sent to me in letter. The ad-
dress, as signed to this communication,
will be the best one for boxes or packages.
Slippery elm bark, dried but not pull
verified, would be very useful. These
societies have done much good, and can
do more, and just now we have a large
number OF wounded in addition to tie
sck, and prompt action on their part
would be very beneficial.

can make no stipulations with regard to
the treatment OF citizens and their private

perty which officers can be allowed to
take with them will be as stated in the
proposition of last evening-that is, that
officers will be allowed their private bag
gage and side arms, and mounted officers
one horse each. Ii you mean by your pro-
position for each brigade to march to the
front OF the lines now occupied by it, and
stack their arms at 10 a. NJ, and then re.
turn to the inside and remain as prisoners
until properly psroled, will make no
objections to it. Should no notifications
be made of your acceptance of my terms
by y O'Clock A. NJ, shall regard them
as having been rejected, and act accor-
dinghy. Should these terms be accepted,
