The Office of the Soldiers' Aid Society of Northern Ohio sent this document (dated April 2, 1862) and many others of its kind to their auxiliaries asking for supplies. What kinds of supplies is Rebecca Rouse, president of the Aid Society, asking for? Who is she asking to supply them? You can sense the urgency with which she writes as she states, "The fathers and brothers, sisters and mothers may save many from an untimely grave by sending delicacies that Government does not provide, and without which our Surgeons say it is almost impossible to raise those who are stricken by disease." | Source: Western Reserve Historical SocietyDownload Original File
