tho Association for the Relief Of Aged In
digent Women. s IA ~ =
In presenting the Eleventh Annual Report
OF our Association, we would gratefully &C
knowledge the kind Providence which has
sustained us through another year.
Under the pressure of limited means and
exoroitant prices we urgently ask an increase
OF donations and Subscriptions. The return
ing peace and prosperity Of our country en-
courages us to look forward with cheerful
hope to better days, when greater means and
more ample accommodations shall enable us
to extend the comforts of our Home" to
larger number, embracing, iu addition, to the
regular inmates, such suitable applicants as
shall occasionally seek for home, as bOGrders,
under our roof Several such persons have
applied, which had we room to receive would
add to the usefulness, as well as funds, OF our
Institution. t.e.ls .,-
We have room for only eight inmates in our
present house. There have been four applica-
tions for admission the past year; but only
one an old lady of eighty-seven years, was adj
mitted, there being but one vacancy.
No special events have marked the year.
The kind attentions of our faithful matron,
and usual share of health have contributed
to the comfort of the inmates. That nine,
with the matron, have been supported on the
small sum Of $774.63, not including the salary
paid matron, tells the strict economy which
regulates the household, while W. desire to do
more, and more generously, for the aged ones
cast upon our charity and care.
We would here acknowledge with our thanks
the donations received through the year, of
material and work in repairs on the house,
three cords of wood, eight dollars on coal bin,
few pounds OF sugar and tea, half barrel
of flour, generous supply of ice through the
season from the ice dealer, with vegetables,
fruit and other luxuries, so grateful and almost
necessary for the aged, but which our limited
means do not permit us to proyide,-also the
kind attendance of physicians, the visits of va
rious clergymen of the city, the annual sermon
from the Rev. Mr.. Hewes, the liberality of the
printers in gratuitously printing our reports
and notices, and the kindness of the prOprietors
of lions Advocate and the Christian Mirror,
in sending their papers through the year.
In the Treasurer's report appended, we pre-
sent to our patrons and the public, statement
of our funds. by Order Of the Board,
ANNE L. PIERCE, Secretary.
