Michigan in the Civil War Sanitary Operations
one-third through the " United States Christian Commission, " to be distributed by David Preston, E. C. Walker, Caleb Ives, Francis Raymond, J. S. Vernor, and Charles F. Clark of Detroit, and one-third through the "Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society, " at Kalamazoo.
We ask the people of Michigan, men and women, old and young, to bring or send to us money, or such articles of value as can be spared, for this, a great national purpose.
May we not, especially, appeal to the young men who still remain at home, and who are preserved from the accidents of the battle field, the long suffering and the weary night watches of the hospital? If home duties and family ties, or impaired health compel you to resist the inclination to aid your country in this its hour of peril, by active service in the field, we implore you to give of your means, that health may possibly be restored, and comfort administered to the sick and wounded soldiers.
