titution, having been temporarily relieved, it
seems to us that the time has arrived when a
comprehensive plan Of cooperation should be
raA hot nrnitt nf

City, Bay City and Flint. 1t is probable that
the contributions OF the charitable Of the ma
ton that have been made, aud are likely to be
made, will fall far short OF being sufficient to
support the sufferers until they can be enabled
to support themselves by tilling their land. II

cooperation should be agreed upon between
us that will prevent the duplicating OF supplies
to any localities.
We respectfully invite you to meet us, and
representatives OF the other relief committees
above referred to in Detroit at this Office, Tues.
day the 9th inst. at III a. m.
Very respectfully,
Chairman Detroit Relief Committee.
