| We are requested to announce
that Isaac Northrop Esq., will accompany the car to be laden with
contributions for the sick and wounded soldiers in Richmond, which car
will leave Wilmington on Thursday evening next, on the Wilmington
& Weldon Railroad. |
| On Thursday last the company
sent out two cars, and yet could not carry all that was offered. |
| The work has been undertaken
as a labor of love and not of profit, and there is every desire on the
part of the company to executive it faithfully. But if the noble
hearts of the people expand their gifts beyond the company's means of
transportation, censure surely cannot be cast upon the company for
failing to carry all, although those in charge deeply regret the
necessity of being compelled to leave any. |
