Dear Sir: Those goods you shipped
here, sent by Mrs. M. M. Richardson of
your city, reached here Friday, Jan. 30,
O. K. We w;re very glad to gei them
as there i3 great destitution in our m dst.
There seems to be a lack in bed clothes,
such as quUts and comforters, but food
and fuel is most needed just now, and
also feed for stock and eed to sow in
the spring. While we thank you for
what you have already sent us, we hope
you can send still more, as we are depen
dent on those who were more fortunate.
There is at present a cold wave passing
over us, and should it continue there will
be much suffering among the poor. Now
we pray that God will bless you and put
within your power the means to help us
immediately, and if you can influence
any of your sister cities to help us, please
do so. Hoping to hear from you again,
we remain Yours as ever,
