It is expected that three hundred sick and wounded soldiers
will be brought to this place in a few days for which hospital necessaries will
be needed; it is therefore requested that the members of the Soldiers’ Aid
Society, and all others benevolently inclined, will meet for the purpose of
making up such articles every day this week, or until the work is completed, in
the lecture room of the Christian Chapel, Brady street. Doors open at 9 o’clock, a.m.
Ladies having sewing machines to spare are requested to
bring them to the room or use them at home for this purpose.
By order of
PRES. SOL. AID SOCIETY.
