There have been so many donors, tho gifts have been of, such acceptable variety, and havo como from so many quarters, that it has been impossible for mo to acknowledge all separately, and I ack that this general acknowledgment may be accepted. AVo highly appreciate tho gifts received which are adding greatly to our comfort and enjoyment, and wo return our hearty thanks for tho same. Most of all, however, wo desire it lo bo felt how greatly wo esteem tho self-sacrificing work of t'ho women in these trying limes. May they especially 1)0 blessed, and may tho day soon arrive when tho necessity for their loving labours will havo passcd.-I am. elc .1. It. KIRK, Captain.. Officer Commanding Troops-Troopship SI.
