DEAR G. C. AND L. Ii. W.: 1t may be of in
terest to you 10 know how the Massachusetts
Division Guards disposed of funds, banner, and
charter.
meeting of Circle was held here. bust
ness meeting of the Division had been called for
at same time. BY vote of division the funds
were turned over to Circley the banner to hang

Lizzie Ware, Loup City, Neb., to whom aunt
May" in 1891 sent clothing. requesting me- If
possible, to send some now to distribute among
the veterans and their families. We voted to
expend 81 in groceries, and pay freight on
barrel also. We sent the barrel soon after, free,
by American Express, and having some things
left we solicited more; and to-day another bar
rel left here for them. With the money that
we expected to pay for freight we bought cot
ton-ciofh, outing flannel, and underwear, and
sent them instead OF groceries
Sister BERTHE Bennett, of Bladen, Neb has
since written me asking aid for the poor in
her town. She is President of the ". C. there.
We felt as though we could not get up another,
so handed her letter over to our Relief Corps
and they will send one very soon. Why would
it not be we'll for the c. c., who can, to send her
clothing, etc. Surely some of you can do so.

Why, would as soon think of going out In

things must be.

PLEASANT FLORIDA.
DEAR c. c. FRIENDS: never bad so much |
fun over anything as / have through this |
last exchange offered you. Devil's-eggs and |
Indian money have been in demand, with q |
good supply of thread
IN sending for the eggs one lady asks IL they |
are fresh. Another asks if 13 is proper set |
ting; are they warranted to hatch, and what |
shall she feed them while young
Still another writes she had heard of people |
" raising the devil" but never supposed it was |
done that way. while another writes she don't |
want any, for the weather clerk has attended |
to that this Winter until we are so nearly |
frozen to death that no one dare sing From |
Greenland's Icy Mountains" on the street.
One mother read the exchange" aloud, then |
remarked she would send for few DEVILS
eggs when her little three-year-old interro-
gated: Are they dood to eat, mama7n
Well, / sent tho eggs, laughed at the remarks
made, dreamed OF them at night and as all
things have an end SO the eggs are coming
to an end, though ] can supply few more.
Mrs McF.: Bless you, could not tell you
