in Illinois who feel thankful to the la
dies of Savannah for the kindness shown
our sons since they have been encamped
near you. | have son in the Ninth Reg
mental Band, and since he has been there
he has written of the friendly disposition
Of the people, and how nicely the soldiers
were being treated but since reading his
letter and also the Morning News, which
he sent 20 ny describing the royal man
ner in Which your ladies remembered them
on Thanksgiving day, words fail to ex-
press our thanks TO the dear sisters of
the South for doing 50 much for our
Northern boys, who have left their homes
for the sake of humanity, going away to
face the unknown future leaving friends
behind that We're powerless to provide for
them on this day of Thanksgiving as did
the ladies of Savannah, while we missed
them, and their chairs We're vacant
IL was not the food, the flowers and del

that l am thankful for but the refining in

the SaddeSt things mat comes TO my mind
is THAI my boy, young as he is, is deprived
of the elevating influence of his class
mates, sisters, and the social life that a
young man needs so much. 1t seems but
yesterday since he was child; had scarce
~ quit playing, until he stepped into the

men, all good and brave who have march

worst ready to be food for bullet and
powder, but, at the same time, will be-
come thoughtless of their manner and

army corps is better for The visit from
the cultured ladies Of your city, and
am thankful to the Ruler of all Nations
for putting 1t into the minds of women to
do deed SO noble and generous.
I feel assured that While our soldier boys
remain with YOU that they will never fail
to show the good ladies that they do and
will always, appreciate their kindness, and
after going from there perhaps into mid
ocean, they will remember the city OF Sa-
vannah with the fondest recollecuons,
perhaps tell to their Cuban friends the
story. and will cherish the memory as
one green spot in their lives
The kind acts, kind words and hallowed
influence will be to them like the poet 5
