Book Description

Excerpt from Report of the Executive Board of the Friends' Association of Philadelphia and Its Vicinity, for the Relief of Colored Freedmen: Read at the Annual Meeting of the Contributors, Held at Arch Street Meeting-House, Philadelphia, 4th Month 18th, 1864 A most interesting feature of the contributions in our own country has been their evident spontaneity. But little solicitation has been used, and, in many instances, the mere knowledge of our work has brought us conside rable sums, when the donors could know but little of those whom they made the almoners of their charity.
