LADIES Pardon me for presuming
to address you in my humble way, but
when / think of the noble work in
which you have been engaged for
some time past, in minstering to the
wants of the sick and wounded SOL
diers Of our distracted country, l can
not help expressing my feelings and
that of my fellow soldiers, for your
kindness. 1t is not only an emulation
of your brave and patriotic mothers
of the Revolution who did not hesitate
for moment to avow their principles
and step boldly forth in defence of
their principles and their liberties, but
it is great and good example that you
have set before the world-an example
worthy Of yourselves and of the coun-
try in which you live, and that your
posterity may look to as guiding star
for the future that your countrymen
are proud of; and above all that the
soldier blesses you for, and in return
tenders you his heartfelt thanks for
your kindness to him in this hour of
need. .4.-... .,-..... ...,.
May God bless you for your patriotic
devotion to your country, your noble
works, your generous gifts, and your
kind remembrances of those who have
left their homes and fresides for the
protection Of our great and glorious
country.
That you may see the end of this
great rebellion, the Union restored,
peace and prosperity once more around
you, is the prayer of soldier and
your humble servant, fD3t.
