You, as q Glass, have not suffered more than othes
great branches of business. True, much of the
army is made up of those who were formerly en-
poyed by you as laborers; bat still, no material
disadvantage has resulted to you. The demand
sor articles that you produce has been 80 great as
to raise their price to that point where ample re-
Enumeration for skill and labor has been received.
Then, again, you have been amply protected in
your property, and in the plessuref of your home
and family, as well as in the peaceful aTocation to
which you belong. For ali tails you should feel
grateful, and should be willing TO give literally Of
your abundance. After doing all, and giving all
We can, we shall still eve debt to our countrys
defenders that nothing but the gratitude Of unhcrn
generations repay. gaT
The leading interest Of our State is Agriculture,
and it is expected that the aggregate Of the dona-
tions received from this class shall be large such,
indeed, as to make sum sufficient to reflect honor
on the interest which you represent. so that when
the faithful historian shall come to make up the
record of this noble enterprise, Delaware Farmers
may feel proud of the liberality of which it may be
his pleasure to speak.
The agents Of this humane commission have al
ready been at work. They have sought the field
of.battle while the smoke Of the dreadful fray
yet surging in thick clouds above it, to minister to
the wounded and dying. 1t is to make this or
ganigation effective that your aid is asked, so
that much Of the suffering of our soldiers may be
prevented as is possible.
All contributions of money may be made to the
President or any member of the Committee.
Articles of produce agricultural implements
may be forwarded, free of charge, over the Della
Railroad and should be carefully addressed to
