oxford, Mich June /, 1906
Gentlemen-Pr0bably before this You have
been advised through the press of g g awful
that has befallen our immedia'r section |
ton of the cyclone sufferers unless you have
been over the territory and gaZed upon the hor-
rible destruction. The reporters have done their
best to inform the world of the condition of the
levasted district but we who know will say to
you that 1t is absolutely impossible for them to
give an adequate description of the terrible con-
ltion of the afflicted ones.
Farmers who last Monday possessed elegant
homes and out-bulldlngS, surrounded by beauti-
ful shade trees and orchards, now possess moth
ing but a barren waste of land. They have left
lie clothing on their backs, and nothing else.
Many of them have mortgages on their farms
or all they are worth in their present condition.
We, In this vicinity, are doing all In our power
20 aid these people, but all we can do, when dis
,ributed among so large q number, will only
furnish very small portion of the funds neces-
,ary.
We appeal to your liberality, hoping that you
will respond with what you can an ord. Assuring
you that your contribution will be appreciated |
md remembered by us. we remain, G. l.. Ran
