OFFIcE OF THE GENKRAL RELIEF !
COMMITTEE, /. o. o. r..
MEMPHIS. October "a, 1871
The Odd Fellows of Memphis owe a
debt of gratitude to their brothers
the Union and Canada for
their most generous aid in our distress,
that will last as long as the memory of
these dark and unhappy days.
We think we have now all the aid we
need for our present wants, and perhaps
for the future. Should we need more
we know on whom to rely, but we trust
we may never have cause to call for it.
