The ladies of the Aid Society are requested to meet at Odd Fellows’ Hall this (Friday) morning at nine o’clock, to prepare necessary articles for the relief of our wounded soldiers. The finance committee appointed at the meeting at the Le Claire House, have placed at our disposal the sum of fifty dollars, to be used at our discretion. The society also acknowledge with pleasure the receipt of ten dollars form John L. Swits, Esq. It is hoped that there will be a full and prompt attendance of ladies; and that they will come prepared to spend the entire day in work, that as much as possible may be accomplished in the shortest time – that we may be enabled to speedily send many useful articles, to be applied to the relief of those who have received honorable wounds in the service of their country.
