Report of Distribution of Volunteer Relief Fund.

Donations since last report—George Mosher, $8; S. Cheek, $10—making the total amount collected up to this date, $527.70. Of that amount I have already reported $179.75. I have paid for groceries, wood, &c., as follows:

• O. P. Cobb & Co., $30
• S. D. Langtree, $22
• Chambers, Stevens & Co., $25
• Henry Wilkie, $16.20

Total, $310.37—for all of which I hold receipts. Making the total disbursements, including the last report, $489.80; leaving in my hands $37.90 in cash. That amount would have been expended in necessary articles, but I have just received the last donation this week.

Respectfully,
