Department Commander Henry Booth has issued
/ the following circular letter:
The attention of these Headquarters having been
called to the destitute condition of many of our
comrades in the extreme southwest Counties of the
State notably IN Clark, Mead and Grant Counties,
caused by the failure Of crops in that section in
vestigston made by Past Asst Adj't-Gen.
Coulter, who visited that location and found many
of comrades needing seed for planting and pro-
visions to enable them TO remain and put in crops
The Encampment at Emporia had the matter mn
der discussion ana referred 1t 10 the Department
Commander There no funds in the hands oil
the Quartermaster with which to relieve the neees
sites OF our needy comrades The Commander
therefore calls upon all Posts in the State, vino
able respond to this call for aid TO purchase seed
oats and corn. -four. meal and meat and forward
them to Mead Center, Mead CO.; Ashland, Clark
/ Co.; Hartand, kearney Co.; for Grant County, adj
dressed to the County Commissioners for said
Counties, who will pay The freight on such ship
nents and turn the articles over 10 the Post Com.
rnanders or local Executive Committees appointed
by the Posts in the Counties named. Shipments
can be made direct the Santa Fe x Rock
Island Railroads. It is not desired that money be
sent 10 these localities, but seed and provisions

purchased and forwarded. Receipts for all money
forwarded viii be sent TO the Posts contributing
The Commander earnestly appeals for help for oul
needy comrades IN this hour OF need their wives
and little ones IN many cases are suffering for the
necessaries of life. The Posts in these Counties
have exhausted their relief funds and power
less to relieve our suffering comrades and thei
families These cases call for an exercise of charity
, which is the browning jewel of our Order.
