pointing out how the wants of each
individual might be supplied says:
the money so generously sent to us
from all quarters is a sacred fund,
held in trust for those who are

About fifteen thousand rations
had been advanced by the mer-
chants in anticipation of the arrival of
the government rations, most Of which,
however, are in the hands of the COM
mittee, and will be returned to the
merchants. The committee still hope
the Secretary Of War will allow the
