A member of the Christian Church writes to inform us in regard to the case of ‘the lamented Mrs. B. R. Brown, whose husband is at Fort Randall and her eldest son in the Iowa 2d Cavalry, both volunteers in the service of their country, and who leaves three little boys dependent for the present on the benevolence of community,’ that there were ladies of other churches whose benevolent aid was given on the melancholy occasion. Also, that the nurse who waited upon her was procured and sent there by the ‘County Committee.’ ‘The only regret in the case,’ he adds,’ is that this help was not earlier and more promptly given – let it be a lesson for the future.’
