fully, but earnestly, submit to the benevolent and
The patriotic throughout the Confederate States an
appeal In behalf Of tho soldiers families IN this
city. Since the commencsme Of the War Richmond
has been u refuge for those who have been driven
from their homes by ruthless enemies. Thou
sands of helpless woman and children, not from the
devastated counties Of Virginia alone, but from
nearly every State OF the Cohederacy have sought
IN asylum In our midst. Our citizens have been
appealed to In numberlees Instances 10 relieve the
sick and wounded soldiers, 10 furnish shoes and
clothing for soldiers In the field and hospital and to
afford food and shelter for their sufsring families
and nObiy have they, Ia the great majority OF In
stances, respoHied to every appeal
The supplies OF provisions IN the city at this Time
are reduced, and the difficulties of obtaining oih

that the funds contributed Tor the relief OF the POOR
accomplish but little In Purchasing the necessa

appears that there more than three thousand
females In this city who are seeking employ yment
| from the Government 10 vain, and that thoee " no
obtain work not fully employed. The wages
received their work will not enable these poor
women to procure suihciency of the plAinest food
for themselves and children Whhont assistance,
| then from the city and country generally, many
| instances OF actual starvation must have occurred
Our CITY Council has made most liberal sppropra-
tions for the purchase Of supplies, both Tor gratui
tous distribution and for sale at cost but The agents
employed for the purpose have mol been able to pro
cure the quantity Of provisions required.
| Under these circumstances We feel thai II is Gu
duty 10 appeal 10 our fellow citizens throughout th
Confeder States to forward, without delay eonri
| butions OF money and supplies 10 The army con
miftee of this assccation. Since the commencement
OF the war this Committee has iabored fealoasly an.
faithfully for the temporal and spiritual welfare o
our soldiers and thsr families. and lor tine saceefi
