    1. [INMONROE] Bloomington Soldiers' Aid Society Donated Goods
    2. Randi Richardson via
    3. Evansville (IN) Daily Journal, March 27, 1862. CARD OF THANKS Mr. Editor: Allow me, through the columns of your paper, to acknowledge the receipt, and also return thanks on behalf of the sick soldiers, for a large quantity of hospital stores donated by the Soldiers' Aid Society of Bloomington, Indiana, for the benefit of the sick soldiers in Evansville in general, and a part of which was sent to Capt. McCollo's (consider McCollough and McCullough as spelling variants) company especially. There were four large boxes consisting of a quantity of clothing, pillows and a great amount of pies, cakes, bread, butter, canned fruit, maple sugar, dried fruit, chickens, wine, jellies, pickles, etc., and a bundle of papers sent by Mr. Walker. No doubt the solders will long remember him for this act of kindness. These eatables were all of a superior quality and spoke as highly of their culinary skill as their generosity. It is hardly necessary to add that they were gladly welcomed by those who are deprived of the luxuries and pleasures of home and friends. James Little
