Mr. Editor:--Permit me through your columns, to return my thanks to the Ladies of High Point for their timely and generous present of a large quantity of clothing, &c., &c., to the needy of the 33d Regiment, this day received.

Soldiers are ever gratified when they know they are remembered by Ladies, but when they are made to feel by such unmistakable evidences that their sufferings, and trials are appreciated and provided for by the daughters of the State, it serves them to encounter, yet more sufferings and greater trials, nay even death itself, with a stout heart, to protect the hearths and fire sides of such benefactors from invasion by a ruthless foe.

I feel permitted to say, from their soldierly-like bearing both in Camp and in the battle field, the Ladies of High Point, and others who have favored the Regiment will never regret their kindness.

With high respect,

R. F. HOKE, Lt. Col. Com’dg
