| We trust our friends will not be impotien,
/ for reports Of their boxes. As we are under
20 great obligations to the railroad officials
for the services rendered us. we do not wish
them to be incommoded in forwarding our
supplies. We are therefore in the habit of
collecting number Of boxes to 20 together.
instead Of troubling them with so many scat
tering packages 1he letters being addressed
TO the rooms in Boston, announcing these
boxes as on the way, the supplies are reck-
oned in the amount on hand. and are Just as
good to the Commission as il in Boston, be-
cause II is known just what they are, and that
they can be telegraphed for at moments no.
tice If they are especially wanted. For this
reason, some boxes sent In January may be
reported received in February, and so in
every months report there may be a slight
variation, but the whole is kept correctly in
Bfattleboro, and everything will finally be
sck knowledged from Boston. We will be par
tieular that this delay shall be as slight as
possible But the Aid Societies may be sat
isfed there is hardly chance for anything to
be lost, II they send letter BY mail to n. f.
w. A A., 22 Summer street, Boston. with
an invoice Of the contents Of the box. at the
same time the box is started on its way II
the box does not reach Boston with the next
consignment after the receipt Of this letter.
the matter is speedily Investigated and the
missing box found. Thus far nothing has
been lost since this system Of sportation
was organic. d.
