SOLDIERS AID SOCIETY, PERU, June 5, 1868.
The Ladies of Peru and vicinity, desir-
ing to contribute to the comfort and ne
cesities of the sick and wounded soldiers,
organized the "Peru Soldiers Aid Society"
September 21st, 1861. Funds were at first
Obtained by collections from the different
churches. About twenty months have
elapsed, during which time we have not
been idle, as our report will indicate. For
more than year, evening entertainments
we're resorted to, as a means of supplying
the necessary material. Generous dona-
tions of half-worn clothing, linens, &C.,
were received from time to time. About
the 1st Of April, 1868, a systematic method
was adopted by which all who signed their
names, pledged themselves to pay certain
amount monthly, for six months, so that
we now have an average income of $50
per month.
