The following letter was addressed to
thirty-six children Of P ainfeld, and others
equally deserving-so every generous little
Patrot will have a share in it
Dear Young Friends We had a letter
telling us that you had sent US box Of com
forts for the soldiers. The box arrived safe
~. and all the contents were duly appreciated.
We thank you very much We know how
much pleasure there is in doing what We can
to comfort the brave soldier, who are toiling
and fighting for us and we know, too, that
there are many things children can do as we'll
as older people, and that they gain from the
work as much as they give. The whole coun-
Try Is looking on in anxious expectation o
The great battles which must occur, and while
our hearts ache. we feel douby the need Of
making preparations to help the wound ed
and exhausted. We want great many small
pillows and cushions, which can be made of
old cotton OF calico and filed with bran or
hay. They are very nice, too, filled with
hops. There are great many herbs which
are useful to sick men, especially such as can
be quilted into flannel for baths. If the lit
tie boys and girls would collect worn cotton
and linen for US, they would be doing good
service COR us. We cannot get half enough
Thou when the time of berries comes you
can pick them and dry them. Another thing
We need is ntedlebooks, which are often asked
for. If you have any thin dresses, they make
very nice pocket handkerchiefs, and that is
ju.t the work for little fingers. Now hope
we shall very soon hear from you, that you
are all well. All OF you, who have given
your playtme and your pennies and your
labor for the love of your dear country, will
look back with pleasure upon your share Of
this great work, when peace is again restored
to US. Truly Your Friend,
