are still suffering almost to the limit of ens
durance from the devastation of war and
SUBSEQUENT failure Of crops They are MAX.
ing every possible exertion to revive theft
various branches Of industry and become
seifsupporting. The liberal assistance which
the Northern people are well able to giye;
will relieve great amount of distress, and
will Nc. doubt be sufficient to place the poof
Of the South beyond further suffering ES
food, The recent manifestations Of an al
most universal desire throughout the Souths
for really fraternaf reunion with the North
may well serve TO. stimulate the generoas
sympathies Of the Northern people, while
nothing could do more to, foster and en-
courage the growth Of a healthy sentiment
In the South than the generous aid which Il
isihe mission of your Society to invoke
81 sincerely hope the noble efforts of tfi5
Society may result in the mostabundant sue.
