TOLEDO o., Dec. 26, 1884.
The rapid extension and numerical growth of the
Womans Relief Corps Is most encouraging largely
owing to the fidelity 10 work, obedience of orders,
and the prompt discharge of all duties and obiiga
tions devolving upon those charged with official
trust, whether as heads of Departments or subordi-
nate Corps. A very marked improvement I'm re-
ports received indicates the patience and persever
ance which the various officers give to their unre-
mittng labors. Again calling attention to the
important provisions of General Orders No. 2, the
National President directs attention to the follow
ing, for the information and direction of the
Woman's Relief Corps, especially IN view OF the
coming elections:
l. The regularly elected Department officers, in
Guiding the Department Secretary, whether hold
ing her office by election or appointment, are
entitled to seats in Department Conventions, addi
tional to Delegates named in Rules and Regula-
tions.
H. 1t is earnestly recommended that Department
officers, retiring from duties wit which they have
made themselves conversant, give all needful In
struotion to their successors in office to the end
that work shall not be retarded by any changes
that may properly take place. 1t is quite impera-
tive that the Department Treasurer be resident of
the same place as the President and Secretary for
the prompt and full discharge of her duties pre-
scribed by Rules and Regulations.
III. An exchange of General Orders, issued by
Department Presidents, is most earnestly advised.
In multiplicity of counsel there is wisdom. The
following Is the National Roster, by Departments,

tons possible full list of officers elected and
