The following letters have been re-

American National Red Cross
Relief Committee.
Secretary's Office, 800 Broadway.
June 10, 1898.
On behalf of this committee | am in
structed to express its appreciation of
your practical interest IN our work, and
further to enclose our treasurer's receipt
No. 100, for 800 covering the amount of
your contribution.
Respectfully,

To Morristown Auxiliary No. IA,
Morristown, Nj,
Through Miss Sarah Fitz Randolph,
116 South Street.
American National Red Cross
Relief Committee.
Woman's Committee on Auxiliaries.
Miss Alice D. Field:
Dear Madam beg to acknowledge
the receipt of yours of the 18th, enclosing
list of articles sent by Auxiliary
No. IA, and express to you the sincere
thanks of the Woman's Committee on
Auxiliaries for this generous donation.
We hope very much that your auxiliary
will continue its good work, for the need
is great pajamas and shirts being partic-
ularly wanted; and we would be very
grateful if you could send another in
stallment by July 10.
In regard to your inquiry about send
ing fruits and vegetables to the camps
near New York, the Red Cross has at yet
established its agencies only in the South
ern camps. Should it do so later on in
this neighborhood it would doubtless be
glad to avail itself of your offer, and
would notify you at once.
Respectfully yours,
MARY D. BUTLER DANA,
Secretary.
would be very much obliged if you
could let me know if we can count on
more work from your auxiliary and
what it would be.
In response to Mrs. Dana's request the
Executive Committee have promised to
send on July one hundred night shirts
and fifty pajamas. These are cut and
ready at the headquarters, and it is hoped
that all who can do SO will come for
work or send money to pay for having it
done.
The committee have received copy Of
the second appeal sent out by the Ameri-
can National Red Cross Relief Commit
tee. The appeal is in part as follows:
New York, June II, 1898.
To the Citizens of New York:
All recent wars have demonstrated
that government hospital service is not
able to meet all demands in times of
emergency; this will doubtless also prove
to be the case in our war with Spain, the
more SO as we have entered into it under
very adverse climatic conditions.
Therefore there is great need for sup
plementing the authorities efforts by
private and voluntary aid, contributing
substantially to the care of our sick and
wounded of our regular and volunteer
army and navy.
We earnestly hope that our fellow
citizens will, with their usual generosity,
assist in this patriotic work for the relief
of our sick and wounded, SO that our city
of New York may also in this respect set
an example to other cities of the Union.
The above is signed by the Finance
Committee.
The Morristown Auxiliary is author
lied to receive contributions in response
to this appeal
They may be deposited in the First
National Bank or sent to the treasurer,
Miss Sarah F. Randolph, 116 South
street.
