There is a difference of opinion regard
ing the disposal Of the money between the
officers or the Native daughters heQ
Cross Aid and the Red Cross Society. The
following letter is self-explanatory:
July 15 1898.
Mrs Frank H Mills. Acting President Ma
tive Daughters Red Cross Aid, San Francisco
Dear Madam: 1t has been suggested to the
Red Cross Society of San Francisco that the
results OF the entertainment to be given by
the Seventh California Volunteers, under the
auspices OF the Native Daughters Red Cross
Aid Society is to be given to the emergency
fund Of the First California Volunteers now at
Manila
Our society fails TO see why the Seventh CAL
ifornia should be called upon to help the First
California, we having sent the sum OF SloUO
to them June rs.
If this entertainment is to be given in the
name of this society the returns must be made
be had We think you see the justice of
this, for it is the basis upon which our enter
tainment committee works Hoping we may
meet with your committee and adjust this
matter at your earliest convenience remain
very respectfully,
MRS. w. r. ECKART Secretary.
MRS. JOHN F. MERRILL President.
The matter has not been adjusted. 1--WE
have had the opinions of two lawyers and
have been informed that there is no legal
reason why we cannot give this entertain
ment,' said Mrs. Edward Lunstedt last
night 1--WE believe we have a right to
say how the money shall be disbursed."
Mrs John F. Merrill. president of the
ercise supervision over all benefits given
in the name of our society. If we did not
do so there would be endless confusion,
and worse. We hope this little misunder-
standing will be Strengthened out. / met
Mrs Mills. the president, and thought
everything had been explained to her sat
isfaction."
The entertainment will take place and
! 1t is expected there will be no clash be-
tween the two bodies.
