Daily Constitutionalist
Augusta, Georgia, May 2, 1861
Masonic Hall was the scene all of yesterday of patriotic industry. Many of the ladies of Augusta were there, busily engaged in making uniforms and other garments for portions of our gallant soldiery thus far on their way to the Northern frontier. Never did our fair and patriotic townswomen appear to greater advantage. Their prompt and cheerful compliance with the call made upon them will cause them to be gratefully remembered, and give our citizens fresh reason to be proud of their wives and daughters.
The ladies will meet again at the same place this morning at nine o’clock, and continue these meetings daily until further notice.
