WHAT A SOLDIER THINKS OF THE HONE.-
We subioin a letter written by a disabled
New York soldier, who has been enjoying
the privileges and comforts of the Soldiers
Home in this city. 1t was conceived in a
moment of enthusiasm, and the emotions
plainly ruled this son of Mars when he
wrote. The letter speaks for itself, andonly
speaks too much when the writer AYERS that
he worship" some OF the parties at the
Homo. Brother, husband well thy prayers,
and worship" nothing human.
Here is the letter:
CLEVELAND, Noy.F3d, 1865.
To the Superintendent y the Soldiers, Home
DEAR SIR The peculiar circumstances in
which / found myself situated when l ar
rived in this city, being sick, mOneyless,
and, as l then thought, friendless, added
considerable to my distressed state, but kind
fortune, thank the Lord, had not utterly
deserted me, for on my application ct the
Gid Rooms, | was received kindly, my case
/ inquired into, and permission granted me
to remain in the Home" until ] should re-
cover from the illness with which Twas
then afflicted. The ladies 10 whom lam
indebted for this kindness will please accept
a soldiers thanks. No words of mine can
express the feelings of respect and graft
tude which animate my whole being, and
which shall ever abide as q memento Of the
kindness shown soldiers by the ladies of
Northern Ohio generally, and those Of the
Cleveland Soldiers Home in particular.
So far as the comforts of the "Home'h are
concerned any remarks Of mine would be
needless, it's merits having been heralded
far and near by the press Of every State,
and | question if there exists a single being
from the rocky coast of New Eng
land to the golden shores Of the Pacific,
h has not heard of the excellences
of this institution. But If there should be
such a person, l will hold him guiltless to
the charge of reading a. newspaper during
the last four years Of his existence. The
President and Vice President are, truly
speaking, friends of the soldiers, and as
such are respected by the inmates of the
institution. On the Secretary and Treas
urer chiefly devolve the business transact
tlOns of the institution, and hence there is
much moro intercourse between the inmates
and those ladies than any of the other Off !
GERS Of the society. To say that those ladies
are in favor with the occupants of the
" Home" would scarcely be giving a fair
idea Of the regard We bear them, but when
l say they are next to being worshiPped
you will have a much better idea Of the
state of our feelings towards cur kind bene-
factresses. The thanks Of every soldier who
has been ~fortunate enough to be the reeip-
lent of the many good things which, under
her direction, are provided for him are due
the Matron. To you, Mr.. Superintendent,
we acknowledge ourselves indebted for the
uniform aspect of cleanliness and comfort
which every department of the building
wears, and the thanks of every inmate Of
the institution is due you and your assist
ants for the kind manner in which we have
unifOrmlv heen freated- As far as | am |
