Messrs. EaitorS:--I desire to acknowiedg'
through YOUR columns, the receipt Of a boz
f sent to Co. Fl" under the care Of Mr.. james
Lciber, containing the following named arti
cles, 10 pillow cases, II pillows, 10 towels, 4

per, a large quantity of reading matter to
gether with quite a namber of packages sem
to private individuals.
The members of Co. III" being the recipi
ents of the above nrmed articles, and under
standing that they were contributed by the
Soldiers Aid Society of Somers and Paris
and other friends equally interested in oul
welfare, desire me to express, i'll their behalf,
through this medium, their most earnest anc
heartfelt thaukSf for this kind remembrance, AND
assurance that every effort is being, and will
continue to be made, by friends at hone to1
our comfort, while engaged in tigqtlng the
battles of beloved and once united country.
The pen can feebly describe the pleasure
anticipated and realized, by those who anx-
iously clustered and crowded around the box
es as they were opened, to see and receive,
each one, what it might contain for him per-
sonalIy, and afterwards to see the hearts made
glad, upon becoming acquainted with the. COR
tents Of their respective packages and bundles,
and the threatened 'internal improvement" to
be made by iudulging i'll, and passing Judg-
ment upon all articles and luxuries in the eat
able line. A slight change from '.hard tack"
Crackers salt pork, and fresh beef, (but bet
ter known with us as portable bone YARDS is
truly very acceptable, when that change con
sists of such articles, as we now are happy to
acknowledge ourselves the recipients of. The
JjtAe County which we call ours, although
representing but a small portion of the great
commonwealth of Wisconsin,, has won a
reputation III her connection with this war
worthy of those double her III size, III sending
forth her ''sons' to fight, and then taking
care of them after they have gone. Two COM
panies represent her in the ''33rd' and she is
the first to respond to their wants. To say
that we are proud of her cannot half express
our feelings, We wish ue honored her better
than we do. The interest our friends have
shown for us, has awakened others coming
from other parts of the State, to induce Their
friends to do likewise. Kenosha County sure
Iy bears off the palm. Also do we wish to
express to Mr.. Lcibcr of Somers, our sincere
thanks for kindly volunteering 10 pilot said
boxes to their destination, while without his
aid we could hardly have expected their safe
arrival. While here he did all maj could dc
to add to the comfort of the sick and we'll
He has acted the part of the good Samarl-
tan and his departure was regretted as his
coming was welcomed.
He left us yesterday morning on his way
home after a stay of about a week. His SAFE
arrival there is our best wish, and should he
see lit to visit us again as he thought he pos
sibly might, at some future time, he can be
assured of a warm welcome and the best hos
pitaIity Co. '.H' can afford. Again do we
wish to tender to the Soldiers Aid Society O
Somers and Paris our Utmost thanks for then
excrtions in our behalf. Let them also be as
sured that their kind efforts arc duly appaecl
ated, and that while duty has called us away
from home and friends, they have not beer
un1nindful of their obligations, but have faith
fully fulfilled their part, and are wiling tt
still remember the soldiers Of the red, white
and blue" AS the war almanac looks nov
we fear we may be subjects of charity" for
long time yet, but as the future develope
nothing, we content ourselves to await results
We all hope at some future time to return
to our respective homes safe and sound, an
our friends may look for that event when tia
war closes.
