Albany [GA] Patriot , August 23, 1860
Few persons perhaps are aware that there are many families in our midst who do not get half enough to eat. While it has ever been characteristic of our citizens to give with a liberal hand, yet there are many charitable objects who seem at present to be overlooked. Can nothing be done in their behalf? If the ladies, who never fail in their efforts to promote every laudable undertaking, would take the initiatory step, we feel sure that it would end in royal [?] blessings to the poor and our community.
