"Since my return from Frankfort I have been called on by families of absent volunteers, enlisted at Camp Webster, who represent they are in a destitute condition and that they have applied to the Relief Committee in Newport, in vain for relief. I can see no good reason why a family should be left to suffer, simply because they live in Jamestown, or at some point outside of the limits of Newport, while at the same time they are citizens of this county. I make this statement with no other view but to secure some aid for the suffering families of volunteers in this county. GEO P WEBSTER
