respondence. We wanted the first person
we could reach, who would commence the
work without excuse or delay. Mrs Child
of Hyde Park, had upon former occasion
proved prompt correspondent, and Miss
Gray, addressed her with the request that
she would become an associate manager,
for Ldmoille County. Mrs Child, being
unable to perform the service, followed
Miss Grays request, and procured the aid
of the first efficient lady she found, and
the Commission has been indebted to Mrs.
E. b. Sawyer for her prompt and faithful
efforts. have been thus explicit. in or
der to show the ladies of Lamoille Coun-
ty, why they were asked to "report at Hyde
Park" to which some ladies in other
towns, singularly enough, have taken ex-

But through the agent for the State, and

The Sanitary Commission is able, if zoe

complete, there need be no other agency
for helping the sick and wounded soldiers.
The organization has received the coun-

and the Quarter Master General, and all
