Govenor

I addressed you a communication on or about the 1^st of June in regard to organizing ~~[of]~~ Aid Societies & Relief Societies in Miss. for the benefit of her gallant son's in the Army of Ten.

Other states have rendered invaluable service to their sick & wounded in this army, while Mississippians have been neglected by their friends at home. This has not been for want of zeal or devotion to our cause & The welfare of her Troops in my humble opinion, but in consequence of a want of a proper organization of Aid & Relief Societies, which would give Them assurance That Their appropriations would reach The soldiers and be distributed according to Their will

I enclose a brief statement of facts. from Genl Dalgren, and fully concur in ^The^ plan proposed by him and feel That you will give This subject such attention as you deem proper

Accept my high regards & believe me
