NEW ORLEANS, Nov 2.-The following cor
respondeDce has passed between Secretary
Evsrts and the Howard Association:
WASHINGTON, Nov. /, 1875
To the Hoooard association, Neoo Orleans:
While Continued demands for aid are re-
ceived at the North from New Orleans, we cam
not understand the reiterated statement that
the Howard Association. large fands,
have ceased giving relief Please advise me
how this is. VIM M. EvARrs.
Secretary of State.
HOWARD. Assn, New Orleans.
IN hon. Wna. d. EUGrts, Secretary of State:
Your despa CHI Of the LIST was received last
evening. We do not kn Nv from whom the re-
peated demands from New Orleans, of which
Won speak, come. We do know the statement
that the Howard Association has balance of
$3.50, 900 to distribute after the epidemic, to be
absolutely untrue
We stopped contributions Sept 18th because
we then said that we had ample fuods on hand
and in sight to meet any probable and lawful
demands which might be made upon us. SlDce
that time we have had demands upon us from
places where there was no fever then, which
have carried us under an obligation of 100000
beyond the calculations we had made, which
We could not have anticipated We are today
striving hard to meet these and other obiiga-
tons aud come out free from debt. We have
not yet paid the doctors who have so faithfully
served us at home, though we hope yet to give
them some partial recognition of their services.
We have paid no attention to repeated state
ments of disappointed individuals or associa-
tons, political, race, sectarian or otherwise,
who have started reports of the large balance
we were retaining, and who asked US for our
funds for their distribution. Ignoring their
queries, We have chosen to wait until our pub.
lished report shows, as it will, the disposition
we have made of the moneys SO generously
eentus. We give you, as representative of
the general government. this statement of
facts. j. r. SoUTHMAYD
