The following letter from Commodore Rogers s IN
'eieS''Hs IA '"'' ''''''' NEW YonK Nov. T.
DEAR BLUNT: II is proposed by the good gen,iemen
of this city 10 send Thanksgiving dinner 70 the Army
OF tie Potomac and to the feet IL james hlveF.
The thought 10 grand one, not that the mere eco IS
OF so much value though that il very important 70 ia
thousands Of hungry who will receive u out tne
comfort of knowing that the people eating ibe.i
Thanksgiving dinners at home, think not only o. he'
friends IN the Army, but well OF those OF that gar
liant body who have 10 friends and ties OF kindred "a
make them remembered Sailors are Cosmopolitan y
their habits: they are acquainted IN every poF, arg
have home nowhere. 10 the most Of them no iarI9
ties are known. They have o1tiiyed away IRON bone
the OIL ees of kindred. II now 10 these hermt on tta
! blockaae the Committee conid send Thants siyira
Dinner the FOOD would be tar more valuable uth III
mere moneys worth.
No Sanitary Commission extends its aid 70 theTO' 70
friends send TO the greater part VI them deiosces %
Adams Express. They are shut of 70 degree .Cn
intercourse with the rest Of the world. IL wong 4
particularly grateful to these 10 know that tlef
course has raised up for them friends whom IL Gays %
peace they never knew that though seemingly alone
warm synlpahies extended to them in Their .oney
ness
What propose u.s. that every vessel Of tic bockad1l
feet our coast have Thanksgiving dinner sent II
IL shall arrive after the regular Thanksgiving dinner II
VIII not be the less acceptable TO to whom DIN
ner fresb from New York, will be matter OF thanks
giving The means Of doing this are always provided
so FAR rs transportation is concerned. aDee sGpp5
steamers run regularly. Yours, &c,
