The Abe Lincoln Relief Corps of
Toledo, Or, was favored with a
visit last Friday evening, November
10, from Corps Inspector Mandana
c. Thorpe of Corvsllis. We wish
all could have heard her speak,
that they might realize more fully
how much the w. R. G. is doing
all over the Union. Mrs. Thorpe's S
words, besides being instructive,
were very encouraging, and were
highly appreciated by all the mem
bers, making them feel that they
had something to work for.
