WHITFL,w REID. esq, Nsic- York.-DEAR SIR:
Your telegram of nth inst. authorizing mo to draw
upon you for S 800 for the benefit of suffering
people did not reach me till this morning, owing
the fact that was out of the city for q few days
am pleased 10 acknowledge this your second large
remit lance for the benefit OF destitute people,
and assure you that it comes in very good and
acceptable time for the weather is severely cold and
the demand on our Committee for both food and
clothing is very great. Our people highly appre-
ciate the good and successful work done by IHE
TRIBUNE The extremely cold weather that we have
experienced for the past 10 or II days has had the
effect to add largely to the list of these We have
been supplying, and we therefore hope our friends
who have not heretofore helped MS may be now
moved to give us little aid.
am, Sir, very respectfully yours.
