needs. Cities farther away can serve
us best by sending money. Checks
should be made payable to John Sealy,

and feed for many weeks and to fur
psh with household goods. Most of
these are homeless and the others will
require money to make their wrecked
residences habitable. From this the
world may understand how much
money we will need. This committee
will from time to time report our needs
with more particularly. We refer to
dispatch to this date of Major r. G..
