The society of Southern Mothers in Memphis . . .

. . . return their most grateful thanks to the Messrs. Greenlaw for the use of the rooms recently vacated by them, to remove to others more suitable, most kindly and patriotically tendered for the use of the sick soldiers by Messers. Norton & Cook.  The Munificent donation of the Messrs. Greenlaw is the more deeply  appreciated by the Mothers, as that it came in the vary infancy of their enterprise, when the public had yet to see what they would accomplish, and when but for the patriotic generosity of these gentlemen, they might not have been able to accomplish much.

S. C. LAW, President S. S. M.
MARY E. POPE, Secretary.
