Michigan in the Civil War Sanitary Operations
have made arrangements for holding a "Michigan State Sanitary Fair, " at Kalamazoo, on the 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23d of September, A. D., 1864, at which we hope to avail ourselves of patriotic addresses from his Excellency, Austin Blair, and other distinguished persons.
It is proposed to devote the entire proceeds of this "Sanitary Fair, " to the sick and wounded soldiers, who have gone forth in defense of that flag which is the symbol of Union, and whose brave hearts nerve them to meet suffering and death rather than permit one star to be stricken from its azure field.
One-third of the proceeds of this fair will be distributed through the " Michigan Soldiers' Relief Committee, " at Detroit, consisting of C. H. Buhl, B. Vernor, Adjutant General John Robertson, W. A. Butler, and Anthony Dudgeon;
