RECEIVE LEVERS AT CAMP
LEE
Contain Checks and are Returned to
Local Sender.

Thirty-two letters have been returned
To the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly. from Camp Lee. Petersburg.
Va. during the past several days. Zach
letter contains check t" IN" amount
OF nine dollars. ordered sent Ia all IT
the riShty-nnc who were escorted
through tn" city on April =. tn the BAL
timore and Ohio railroad station. where
they Cntrainch for Camp Lee. The
money had BIN collected in the larEI
American /! The Tobacco Fund.
for the boys. and was sent in money
instead Of in smokes. as many com
plants had been received TO the eC!c,:
that very little Of the tobacco had been
received. This was therefore though:
the better plan.
II is the earnest desire OF the Off
C"rs that the boys receive the amount
intended for theta. and the request is
made that any relative OF any Of the
boys who left April .. and who has not
received their allotted amount send in
the exact address Of the hog. with the
regiment and company TO which he has
been assigned TO F. ". Sandcrman. sec.
a; tho Ohio Valley Trades and Labor as.
S"mbly hall. II is desired that each boy
receive his share of the tobacco money.
1t seems that some mistake must have
hccn made when the letters were sent
or that tho full address Of the boys
was required TO send him mail.

checks arc as follows: Peter Patrick
