| We are authorized and
requested to state that on each and every Thursday afternoon a Car
will be sent from Wilmington on the Wil. & Weldon R. R. {Wilmington
& Weldon RR}, in
connection with the Accommodation train of that day, which Car will
carry all manner of supplies for the relief of our sick and wounded
soldiers at Richmond, and will be in charge, on each occasion, of a
well known and experienced citizen, who will see that general or
special contributions reach their destination, although it is hoped
that as far as may be the donations will be made generally, that is,
to regiments or companies, rather than simply to individuals. |
| Vegetables of all kinds,
butter and the like articles of farm produce will be gratefully
accepted and will be of immediate benefit to our sick and wounded.
Persons desiring to contribute such supplies will please have them at
the depot most convenient to them on next Thursday afternoon in time
for the train. Mr. Chestnut, of Sampson, will be in charge of the
relief car on that occasion. |
