For the Patriot

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, 1^st Lieut.

Com’dg Co. H, 48^th Reg. N. C. T.
