Mr. J. J. Safely, hospital steward at Camp McClellan, is
finally relieved of his duties in that capacity, Mr. Love, who died last week,
being the last person under his charge.
Mr. Safely wishes us to express his acknowledgments to the ladies of
this city for the kindly aid they have rendered him, while performing his
duties as steward, in furnishing him not only with necessaries for the
hospital, but also with innumerable delicacies.
For all these oft-repeated acts of kindness, Mr. Safely returns to the
ladies of his city his most fervent thanks.
