Aid Society

Helps Soldiers

March 25, 1862 — The enter-

prising Ladies and Gentlemen of

Warminster, having formed an

Aid Society for the comfort and

relief of our sick and wounded

soldiers, have forwarded two

large boxes, through Quarter

Master Hale, at Harrisburg, to

Louisville, Kentucky, containing

the following articles:  Three

confortables, 31 pillows for the

head . . . 3 boxes of lint, a lot

of bandages and old muslin, 2

cans of peaches, one jar of calf’s

foot jelly . . . one bologna saus-

age.

This little we have been en-

abled to do by the contributions

we have received; and now, with

the proceeds of the lecture which

our kind and patriotic friend, the

Rev. Jacob Belville, so ably de-

livered for our society, we are

fast preparing another box of

clothing, to be sent where it is

most needed.
