To the Ladies Aid Association of Comdcn ::
LADIES: have the honor to have re-
ceived from your liberal society package of
clothing and shoes for my company. The de-

by the constant removal of my command, for
the past six weeks, from point to point on the
sea coast
To say chat we are thankful to you for your
kind remembrance would barely express the
sentiment that exists in the heart of every brave
and patriotic soldier, who sacrifices his all for
the common defence Of his country, but that his
highest regard is to feel that those to whom his
best and purest affections are ever given, ap-
preciates the sacred offering-appreciate it by
the gentle ministrations to his wants and
necessities in the hospital and on the ten
ted field appreciates it by the thousand pray
ers which ascend daily to the throne of the
Most High for his protection from the dangers.
diseases and hardships Of cruel and relentless
war. Then feel assured that SO long as you sus.
ain the wearicd routine Of duty-that stands at
:. door Of every half fed, half clothed soldier
~ from his home and all that his heart
to in the distant camp-by your gcnor-
.' d, our cause, though it passes through
s ofhame and blood, will yet come
Ao'r red and regenerated for all time to
s.., an none more than yourselves will re-
''' 'ne ors'tes' lustre and undyipg honor.
