PATRIOTIC ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN
WoMEy.-This Association is organized
for the purpose of making as full and
complete history as possible of "Wo-
mans Work in the War of the Rebellion. +"
The books published are but an item of
the whole.
The Association desires the address of
every woman who was actively engaged
in the Relief Service of the Army, in
Hospitals or with the Army, either as
nurses or with any of the various agencies
or as agent or representative Of other as
sociations.
We earnestly request communications
from all as above mentioned
The association is without iunds, and
those writing are requested to inclosc a
postage stamp for reply.
We most respectfully solicit women of
every social rank to respond to our call
all who gave their time and service in
the late war.
Personal vanity is not sought to be
Aattered, neither should personal feelings
against a seeming notoriety prevent as
complete history of an important work
of humanity as can be made. We wish
carefully.preparcd statements of service,
containing the following particulars The
time of entering service where, and how
long continued, and if interrupted by alb
scncc, and under what authority wheth.
er in the field, hospital, or on transports
and the names Of officers, as far as posi-.
bic, where service was rendered the his
tory, in brief, of each, as relates to en-
ployment, circumstances, end experience
in benevolent enterprise, before and since
the war. Also from women who have
lost their fathers, brothers, husbands, or
sons in consequence of military service
and have been denied pension, giving the
reason assigned for refusing to grant a
pension. We desire especially to be in
formed Of the death and loss of health Of
women consequent upon the service, An
other object is to ask for pension or EN-.
ployment, or some recognition for women
whose free service has been given in SO
important and needed relief Our Gov.
ernment can, and it is expected that i,
will be willing to extend alike the same
relief to women, who worked for the ma.
tons prosperity, and to their dependent
families,as has been provided for soldiers
Why not? Many who arc now well pro-
vided for may in the future, themselves
or their own dependent ones, be left tc
our chcrishing love and care. Those who
are blessed with wealth and position can
by the power of their influence, be q
blessing to those less favored. In oul
patriotic work of murcy for the suffering
soldiers we were sisters. Let us be cqu

work of kindness and love. GIVE u
