MY DEAR BELLOWS, God bless you for what you and your Sanitary Commission are doing for our people in the camps It goes to my heart to be sitting here in quiet and comfort, these lovely summer days, while they are braving and enduring so much.

He also gave me liberty to use an order he had given J. R. Brown, to call upon quarter-masters for half, whole, or quarter rations, wherever suffering for food existed. These investigations enabled me to judge of the amount of aid needed at each point. As my supplies had not reached me, J. R.

I had hoped so much that you would by this time have decided that you had done enough, and come home and content yourself with doing what you could for the Sanitary Fair, and the lint-scraping bees. P.S. Your father is well. He will go with me to Wisconsin, and then go down to Nebraska to look after his land there. P.S. I am SO sorry to tell you that Harry Glen has acted badly again.
