Eight applications were made for
nurses this morning, and four supplied.
About sixteen are still wanting to sup
ply all applications. The donations in
money received by the Association to
date amount to $l63S 60. The outlay,
however, has been very heavy, and the
Association is believed to be in arrears.
Several large bills are to be met to day,
but the wherewith is not abundant.
Let our generous hearted citizens
open their pocket books as we'll
as their sympathies, and come to the
relief of Memphis. Her people are
sorely afflicted, and many of them lam
guish in scantily furnished rooms where
medicines, nurses and physicians and
comforts are rarely seen. There are
times that demand extraordinary sac
rifces. Our physicians, members of the
Howard and other benevolent associa-
tons, and the nurses, risk their lives in
behalf of suffering humanity. Surely
our more prosperous citizens, those who
are able to look after their personal
safety, can afford out of their abundance,
to give little or a hundredth part to
assist the needy and distressed.
The Association has been compelled
to adopt the following rule.
From this day all applications for
nurses or relief for yellow fever patients
shall be made by the attending physi-
clan.
