Contributions for the soldiers.
Editors Dispatch--I desire to acknowledge through your columns the receipt, from the hands of
Miss Mary Taylor of this city, of thirty-five pairs of socks from the
Mt. Oliver Sewing Society, and twenty-one flannel Shirts from
Mrs. Lavina Taylor, of
Hanover county, for the ‘"
Harrison State Guards."’ Co. ‘"C."’ 31st Regiment Virginia Volunteers, (
Mrs. Taylor upon the yarn, wove the flannel, and made the shirts herself.) They will be distributed in accordance with the request of the fair donors, and the recollection of the donation will contribute not less to the comfort of the gallant men, than the articles given.
If the
men of the
Confederate States will prove themselves
worthy of the
ladies who have contributed so much to our glorious cause, then, indeed, will we be unconquerable.
W. P. Cooper.
Dec. 23d, 1861.
