ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

Wedesire to offer our sincere thanks to
the ladies Of Cleveland and vicinity for
their generous response to our call in be-
half of the Fourth of July dinner at Camp
Cleveland Hospital
Through their liberslity an abundant
feast was spread not only for the patients
and all the inmates of the Hospital, but
also for all the recruits in eamp-at that
time nearly 800.
The Committee at our rooms, on Bank
street. were busily employed all through
the day of Friday, the Sd, in receiving the
good things provided by the residents On
this side Of the river, and the hberality
and enthusiasm Of the ladies Of the West
Side filled those receiving rooms with an
abundance Of the most delicious edibles,
while large part Of the donations were
carried directly to the hospital by the Ia
dies of the country and by many others
who could more conveniently deliver them
there.
Besides the abundant and delicious
viands contributed by the ladies, we re-
ceived for the dinner many gifts Of money
from both ladies ard gentlemen. The
sums have been receipted for in print, and
are now scknowledged with many thanks.
tits impossible to name each lady whose
gift helped to gladden. the hearts and COM
fort the "inner man" on that eventful
day, and we much regret that partial
and very imperfect list Of donors which
appeared by error smong our business &C
acknowledgements should have done such
feeble justice to the few, while it entirely
omitted many names which had not been
rendered at the time Of its publication.
Again, We thank all whose kind hearts
prompted this cooperation with our plans
for the soldier, and can assure them that
beyond our poor expression Of acknowl-
edgment, they have the hearty gratitude
of those who were bidden 10 the feast 80
bOuntifully furnished.
We have lately received several vslua-
BILE money donations Of which it seems
proper to make special notice, although
each one has been formally acknowledged
in our weekly published list Of receipts.
From the Finance Committee Of the I'm
ion Mass Convention lately held in this
city, we received tie welcome gift Of $500,
being the surplus of the amount collected
from our citizens for expenses Of that meet
ing.
The young people of Ashtabuls gave a
very successful concert some weeks since,
the avails of which, $114, were forwarded to
US with many expressions Of kindly in
terest in our work.
The little girls of this city have given
us repeated proofs of their sympathy fol
the soldier, and we are constantly receiV'
ing their donations, which are prOffered in
so charming q manner as to double thei1
value in our estimation, the gift so often
Being the result of self-denisl which
older persons would scarcely think it pos.
sibIe to make for the cause. One little
girl has lately brought uA a dollar which
was sent to her by her soldier brother t.
be spent in fre-crackers for her smuse
ment on the Fonrth Of July, and many
little misses have devoted their plsJ
hours. ITO getting up bszaars, fairs and pic
mics for our benefit. The result Of fai
held by four little girls on ST. Clair stree
was the sum Of S29 added to our treasury
and very pleasant bazaar given by tn
scholars Of Mrs. Days school some week
since brought us the generous gift Of near
| ly S75. The little girls scarcely know
how welcome their bright faces are to u
at our rooms, nor how grateful their gift
to our cause-Whether the sums they brinI
are large or small. We only hope the.
will find some slight return fer their gOc'
deeds in the pleasures of the entertain
ments planned with such generous PuT
pose, and in the thought that their pls,,
hours have been devoted to relieving som
of the sorrow and suffering that now wal
abroad in our fair land.
The suggestions offered to the Branc
Aid Societies in our Circular No. II, haV
been successfully followed in very man
towns in this section, and we are dsil
hearing Of festivals, pio-nics, dinners, SC
that have brought to the local Aid sOcie
tiesa very substantial benefit. We heartil
congratulate the ladies whose industry an
ingenuity have brought about these cheer
ing results, and think they must feel we
repaid for the time and trouble Of thes
entertainments by the increase Of mean
for continuing the efficiency Of their bt
nevolent organizations.
