Foster; purchasing committee, Mrs. A. K. P. Welch, Miss Abby Francis; and a finance committee of nineteen ladies. The amount of money raised was twelve thousand four hundred and sixty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents ($12,468.25), and the estimate of work done was seventeen thousand two hundred and forty-eight (17,248) articles made. Articles forwarded (made by the Society, and received as donations), twenty-one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two (21,892). The first three boxes, packed between October, 1861, and January, 1862, were sent to St. Louis. After the formation of the Boston Branch of the United-States Sanitary Commission in January, 1862, all the articles (with the exception of one box to St. Louis) were forwarded to the Boston Branch in boxes, barrels, and bundles, as was most convenient for the express.
