Rev. Frederick N. Knapp, one of the secretaries of the U. S. Sanitary Commission, was present at Chicago, when, on the first day of the fair, the long procession of teams, extending many miles, came in from the country laden with provisions and other articles for the fair, and thus describes an incident which came under his notice: Among these wagons which had drawn up near the rooms of the Sanitary Commission to unload their stores, was one peculiar for its exceeding look of poverty. It was worn and mended, and was originally made mer

In February, 1863, he was detailed by Colonel Ross, his regimental commander, to report for duty to the Sanitary Commission at Washington. He was to serve in the Special Relief Department, planned and directed by his old friend, Rev. Frederick N. Knapp, whose name should be forever remembered in history as one of the more than conquerors in that great work of peace. This was a post entirely to his mind, and in this he labored until he died. I have a great satisfaction, he says, in having a place of usefulness, where I am conscious of doing great service to the soldiers, and where continually a large field is opening before me. But the strain upon him proved very great. He wrote, for instance, after the battle of Chancellorsv
