Grateful Appreciation Expressed by
the Sick.


Washington, June 23.-Surgeon General
Van Reypen of the navy has received a
number of letters from his officers on board
the ships of Admiral SIMPSONS squadron,
testifylng to the gratefulness and appreci-
alton with which the dellcacies sent for the
sick and wounded have been receivsd.
These delicacies, which were made tirs OF
fruits of various kinds, etc, were pur-
chased by the contributions received by
the Surgeon General from several of the
associations throughout the country which
have been raising funds for that purpose.
The following is sample of the many
letters received. 1t is from Surgeon Cen
eral M. II. Smons of the Iowa, dated June
Is, and is i'm acknowledgment OF stationery
for the men and fruits for the sick.
The letter says: 'Ift the ladies' who sent
them could see how they are appreciated
by the poor fellows who have had moth
ing of the kind for nearly two months, dur
ing which time they have been cOntinu-
ously aboard ship in a temperature Of be-
tween 50 and 80 degrees they would under
stand better than l can tell them how re-
freshing the fruits are and how grateful
all are for the angelic thOughfulne5s
which prompted the sending
Capt. Evans OF the Iowa made the fol-
lowing Endorsement on this letter: "Dr.
Simons has stated It very mildly. Being
for the moment one OF the sick ones, cen
feelingly testify, and do most willingly and
gratefully, express my thanks and those
of my ships company for the delightful
presents"
