tion OF the Howard Association that sur
flcient financial aid had been received for
the relief OF the sufferers from the terrible
yellow fever epidemic now prevailing in
our midst: and suggesting as selt'evident
conclusion that the number OF conva.
lescents will be very large, and that great
distress and need during the conyalescing
period will result, and that only a poTT-
tion OF the needy are even then supplied,
the New Orleans Central Relief Commit
tee, in view OF the calamity OF destitution,
would respectfully represent to the Hon
orable Secretary OF Warthat there Will be
absolute need OF about O., 600 more rations
for our helpless people, making 10000 in
all. The rations can be forwarded to the
Hon. Geo. W. Smith, Collector of the Port,
and issued under his direction through the
Relief Committee should the matter receive
favorable consideration. We respectfully
request the Hon. Secretary OF War TO or
der immediate transportation Of rauons to
this port. ."ipS''' - ~ n
