[591] In 1861, $67,066.51; in 1862, $260,759.87; in 1863, $305,007,28; in 1864, $285,000.00; in 1865, $164,000.00. Total amount, $1,081,833.66. We have not attempted to obtain the amount of money contributed by individuals in support of the war, the payment of bounties, and the contributions made in behalf of the soldiers and their families; nor have we sought to ascertain the amount of contributions made by the ladies. We know they were large and continuous. A whole volume might be filled in recording the benefactions, the good and generous acts, which were performed by the men and women of Boston in sustaining the Government and the army and navy during the entire period of the war.
