The usual sum that the men working for sweaters pay for their tea, breakfasts, and lodging is 6s. 6d. to 7s. a week, and they seldom earn more money in the week.
The total contributions received from America by the Central Relief Committee of the Society of Friends, were, Money, £15,976 18s. 2d. Provisions, 9,911 tons, valued at £133,847 7s. 7d.
