many letters have been received
making various enquiries and seyera
valuable suggestions. In reply
would say--That money sent 10 Gen
eral Davis at this place, requesting
the purchase Of Bedsteads, Mattress,a
and Coverlets, will lie properly ex
pended for such purpose, and duly
acknowledged. The bedstcads cast
inr about $500, mattresses $3.50
and covcrlels about 81 80. Som,
persons wish to fit out a bed entirely
themselves: where this is done We
will have their name inscribed upor
/ the bedstead, and tile individual will
! please marx their own name, upol
the bedding. The same rule will b
adopted in regard to Towns auc
Counties. Shonld Any County
choose to provide IS bells, Il ward
will receive the name Of The County
A considerable amount Of article,
Of bedding, and cloihins are now OF
hand, and we cannot say What add
tonal amount will be required fol

safe to send it here, because what i,
not wanted, can be sent to Mr.lIall in
Washington, for Vermont Soldier,

wanted, moderate supply Of Dried
Apple, Farina, and articles Of that
class bat 10 liquors, preserves, Or

Governments supplies u most lib
orally with liquors, of all the 90 called
delicaeies, soldiers do not relish. II
is only the ilca that they come from
home, that max item loIcrable. This
same sentiment will be b,t;er graft
fled by useful reading, or plata nee
