Excerpt from record
"
I
want
to
appeal
to the
Freedmen's
Aid
Society
for
Aid
for the
Freedmen
here..
. There are
hundred
of
women
and
children
who
are
destitute
of
under
clothing
and
who
have been
recently
driven
away
from their
farm
houses
who
have
no
Husband
of
Father
.
My
heart
is
made
and
ever
day
the
chilly
air
makes
them
feel
the
want
of
clothing
and
shoes.
