"In the year 1862, the first, in fact, of our activity, the whole amount of
money received from all sources was......--............________$2, 166. 13
. Expended.................................................... 1, 945 84

Expended.... ................................................2, 037 61
In 1864...................................................... 6, 779 71
Expended.........................................-.......... 5, 488 48
"This is, of course, exclusive of specific contributions of clothing and hospital stores, always liberally furnished by the soldiers' aid societies throughout the State, and which we endeavored to apply faithfully to the purposes intended.
