Olympia, Oct. 6, 1862.

SIR—The Territorial Commissioners, in aid of the National Fund for the relief of sick and disabled Soldiers of the Union Army now so manfully struggling for our National existence, have selected you as a proper person to solicit contributions in your precinct.

Important events now passing render prompt action indispensable. Knowing your loyalty to the Government and devotion to the Union, we feel it unnecessary to use any language to stimulate you to a zealous effort in behalf of this holy cause. While our Territory cannot, from its remoteness from the scene of carnage, furnish men to take part in this struggle for National endurance and Constitutional freedom, yet we have the inestimable privilege of attesting our sympathy by contributing our mite to the relief of those who may be disabled in this glorious service.

The accompanying subscription list is forwarded. See every one able and willing to contribute, and promptly make returns of your collections to William W. Miller, Esq., treasurer of the Territorial Fund, at this place; which receipt, together with the names of the donors, will be duly announced through the public prints. We have pleasure in advising you that Wells, Fargo & Co. will remit funds to this office, free of charge.

We are, very respectfully,

Commissioners.
