have suffered and many are still suffering
almost 10 he limit OF endurance from the
devastation of war and subsequent failure
OF crops. They are making every possible
cXcrtlon to revive their various branches
of industry and become self-supporting.
The liberal assistance which the Northern
people are well able to give, will relieve
great amount of distress, and Will no doubt
be sufficient to place the poor of the South
beyond further suffering for food. The
recent manifestations of an almost univer-
sal desire throughout the South for really
fraternal reunion with the North, NAV well
serve to stimulate the generous sympathics
OF the Northern people, while nothing could
do more TO foster and encourage the growth
OF healthy sentiment in the South than

'iChSBCNG, HISS, May IL, 1867.
am glad to see that the attention of the
gentle and humane ladies OF the North is
beng turned towards the sad and desolate
condition OF this once happy land.
You, Madam. surrounded with the plenty
and comforts on 81 wealthy city, can scarcely
appreciate the fact that, i'll many parts of
the south, whole communities are, by q
iallu IN crops and the absence of money
or its equivalent, left III want of the neces-
sarlcs OF life: and that poor women, with
large families of helpless children, so ac-
customcd to depend on the labor of others,
that now. with no husband, brother or
servant to help. and no money, they do not
know what to do or where to go for food;
but are left i'll the solitudes OF these South
ern forests, i'll rags and gaunt with hunger,
subsisting on what the mother or larger
children can shoot or pick up in the woods,
or on what the few ncighbors, nearly as
poor as they are, can bring them.
Oihcers OF my acquaintance have met
with such mothers, long after dark, out in
the woods, with an old gun just fired, and
the coon or possum just killed; have gone
home with them and met the group of little
StarvellnyS waiting patiently mothers re-
turn with some of the only sort of food
they had tasted for weeks; and women and
children have been found within sixty miles
OF the capital of a Southern State, during
the past year, who had starved to death in
their lonesome cabins. These cases of
great distress are rare in Southern cities,
for thcre, even the most delicately bred can
generally find some work which they can
do to keep the wolf from the door; but the
farms or plantations in the South are pc
culiarly secluded, with miles OF forest or
swamp between them, poor roads, and the
stock and animals nearly all taken by the
war, the famine, the floods, or the thieves,
who i'll such times infest country, and the
distressed families are often, by the time
necessity makes them want to leave, too
sick to travel on foot, and there is no other
way to 60
Your proposed entertainment, Madam,
should 1t produce only funds enough to re-
licve a small fraction of the destitution of
this country, will be good beginning, and
may be followed in other cities North by
similar appeals to people who have happily
never felt the desolation and the horrors
which follow in the tracks of great armies
of invasion. God speed your society in the
good work, is the wish OF, Madam, yours
truly. f. .. C. ORD,
Breyct Major General.
