In the Washington dispatches, today, We
find card from Representatives Gibson
and Ellis, intended to explain The working
OF the three leading heueiiciary organiza-
tons Tor the relief OF the destitute sick
from yellow fever. The Howard Associa-
ton, Peabody Subsistence Association, and
the Young. Mems Christian Association, in
which our association Is said TO be engaged
in looking up new cases Of
SICKNESS AND DEsTrTUTION
and reporting them TO the Howards and
the Peabody for relief. The facts are these:
On the ooh of Augu-t, our association re-
solved itself into relief committee TO help
the sick and destitute from yellow fever.
On the 22d We opened, and from that time
have taken charge OF and cared for entirely
over eight hundred cases OF yellow fever,
without regard to race, color or nationality,
furnishing physicians who have generously
volunteered, and nurses, medicines, food
and money when needed. Our working
force Cf
VISITORS To THE SICK
is fully and efficiently organized; We are in
full sympathy and cordially cooperate
with the Howard and Peabody associations,
but We are an independent and responsible
organization for the dispensing OF funds
committed 10 our hands. We have thus
far, done our work efficiently and faith
fslly, and shall continue TO do it. Our re-
sources are limited-not at all in proportion
TO the work imposed on Us By the sickness
and.. destitution that We are called upon to
relieve, and which is
DAILY INCREASING,
and We ask the fullest recognition through
through which the benevolence Of the
charitable can be dispensed;
