Contribution
Messrs. Editors:--Allow me through the
columns of your paper, to return thanks to a portion of the people of Davidson
for the great liberality, which they have shown in furnishing the members of
Capt. Jno. Michael’s company with shoes, clothing and
blankets and also the Ladies of Lexington for their disinterested donations of
shirts, drawers, and comforts for the men of the company. If the government would do its part as well as
the people have done theirs, our brave soldiers would not have to trudge about
through the snow bare footed, and stand shivering around the fires for want of
blankets. We only want a few pairs of
shoes and blankets to complete the comfort of our men.
Your
ob’t servant,
J.
F. HEITMAN, 1st Lieut.
Com’dg Co. H, 48th Reg. N. C. T.
