From The Greensborough Patriot
July 17, 1862 – Pg. 2
For
the Patriot.
Aid
for our Suffering Soldiers.
The
Ladies of the “Soldiers Aid Society” of Greensboro and vicinity, gratefully
acknowledge the receipt of $782.00 from their fellow citizens and refugees now
among us. This sum together with large
contributions of hospital supplies, we have devoted to the comfort of the
thousands of our brave and honored men, who are now suffering from wounds
received while defending the Capital of the Confederacy against the tyrannical
aggressor. Our friends from the country
have shown their true love for our Confederacy, and their warm sympathy for the
suffering soldiers by their large contributions of hospital stores.
Not
the least interesting and acceptable donation bestowed on our noble soldiers
was $8.00 received from the “Juvenile Soldiers Aid Society” consisting of the
following Misses: Chase Gilmer, Lizzie
Lindsay, Alice Lindsay, Lizzie J. Evans, Rose Bilbro, Dolia Bilbro, Birta
Sloan, Ella Donnel, Nanie Gillaspie, Josie Scott, Bella Balsley, Berta
Thorburn, Augusta Latham, and Master Eugene Eckle.
Prof.
Sterling, left on Wednesday the 9th, for Richmond and will attend in
person to the distribution of these supplies.

LADIES OF S. A. S.
