HOLSTEUPS LETTER TO CHILDREN.
The following letter to children, from Mrs.
Holstein, was prepared for a school; bat wa
have obtained permission (by her) to make use
of it in these columns. If each of our auxiliary
societies will hand over their copy to some
school in ; their neighborhood, it may be that
the children will be incited by it to emulate the
Pottsville schools, the children of which have
sent numerous boxes through our Branch of
the Commission, to our suffering soldiers. Ii
we could but remember that whoever has the
means of sending the value of a pair of flannel
drawers, or a flannel shirt, or a blanket, may
save a soldier’s life to his friends and his coun
try, I aui sure that no one would rest until
he or she had contributed that much to the
cause.
Will not the readers of this paper every
where, place a copy of this number in the hands
of some good, loyal school teacher, who will be
sure to regard the request that this letter be
read aloud to their scholars.
Beidgepoet, Feb. 27,1851. —Dear Children:
Having spent almost two years in the different
“Field Hospitals” of our army, I feel the
deepest interest in all that pertains to them,
and as I cannot have the pleasure of talking to
you, I may possibly be able to give you some
idea of how much good your hands can do for
our soldiers, wounded, “and sick unto death,”
lying in far-off lonely hospitals, where a child’s
gift, trifling as it may seem, is appreciated and
valued far more than you can imagine. 1 have
often seen men, whom we thought top m to
notice anything, langh and shout over some
puzzle or game,'which a child bad sent, and
which served- for the time to divert the - mind
from their own sufferings. All of you who
can sew, can make pads, and the simple slip
pers, such as are worn in hospitals ; or you
can hem handkerchiefs or towels, and arrange
the old linen or muslin into convenient pack
ages, ready for use; all, even the smallest
among you, can put together pieces of calico,
or other material, in any form you fancy, and
when made into squares, hand them over to the
ladies of your Army Aid Society, who will
gladly receive them from you, for the purpose
of making the light summer spreads which are
of so much value after a battle iu intensely
warm weather, when the soldier’s ordinary
covering, the army blanket, becomes unbeara
ble to mangled, aching limbs.
This is the reason why I urge you to do this
work now; but here let me say, I have very
rarely, so seldom indeed, that I could number
the times I ever heard our brave Union sol
diers complaining, or bear impatiently their
wounds; on the contrary, they endure suffering
with a heroism which exceeds even the bravery
of the battle-field. This recalls to mind a boy
of only seventeen summers, the son of a cler
gyman in Maine, who told me with a feeling of
evident pride, that his right leg was left upon
Seminary Hill, Gettysburg, that the stump was
doing badly, hut that he had no fear, nor re
gret, let the result be as it might. A few days
more of gentle endurance and the presentiment
of the child, whom we had so tenderly cared
for, proved true, and with murmured words of
“home” and “heaven,” his young life ebbed
away. Another added to the many thousands
given for the “life of the nation.” One week
after his burial, his father came, with a heart
saddened with this great sorrow, and with
brimming eyes, told me . that his. eldest had
fallen at Malvern Hill, another at Gettysburg,
and hi 3. third was then with the army at Fer
nandina; they were his treasures, but he gave
them freely for his country.
Another, an only child of a widowed mother,
lay from July until October, calmly bearing
untold agony, from a wound which he certainly
knew must result in death, yet his one anxious
thought, constantly expressed, was, “ Mother,
do not grieve, it is best, and right, bury me
with my comrades on the field.” So at sun
rise, one bright autumn morning, bis soul went
up to God. The casket which had held it,
we laid to rest, among the nation’s honored
dead, in Gettysburg Cemetery.
One among the many cases of interest in the
General hospital was a man from Western
Pennsylvania, whom his friends mourned as
dead; whose funeral sermon had been preached
and his name on the rolls marked, “ killed in
battle,” in one of the many desperate charges
during those memorable July days. His cap
tain and friends saw him fail, the blood dash
ing upon the man next him, and life to all ap
pearance gone. But it was not so, the bullet
in its course went crashing through both eyes,
but sparing life, though for the time uncon
scious with the inflammation which followed,
his brain became affected and he. could give no
history of himself; but, when hungry would
call “ Mother;” and talk to her constantly, first
about his food, then of home concerns. I have
heard him in these sad wanderings, when he
would ask, “ What do the girls say about me,
now that I have gone to war ? Hoes Jennie
miss me? and so on. His father at length
heard of him and came from his western home,
to recognize in the blind, deranged man, his
handsome, brave boy. Eventually, his mind
would be restored, but his sight never. In this
state his father took him home to the mother
he talked of so much.
1 could give numberless sketches of this
you.
In years to come, when your children are
grown up, and these times are woven into the
history of the nation, perhaps some of your
young friends may ask, What did your children
do in the time of the rebellion? Would you
not exultmgly reply, ‘-Wedid aU in our power,
our fingers aided to make pads, quilts, &c.
and we founded ‘Alert Clubs 3 for the purpose
of raising funds for the ladies 3 society to invest
tor us. I must tell you what an Alert Club is.
It is an organization lor the purpose of receiv
xng contributions of any amount weekly, from
ail who are willing to assist in keeping it up.
lou hand the sum collected every month to
the ladies of your society, to be used in the
purchase of material, &c., which older persons
can make up In this way your offerings sent
through the Sanitary Commission will reach
the suffering soldiers, who will bless the little
hands which have contributed to' their comfort.
Hoping, dear children, that your warm hearts
need not these few lines from me to incite you
to more earnestness in working for those “who

The United States Christian Commission has
seiaed the present golden opportunity of rest for
the Army to extend its werk lor the good of the
Soldiers.
STATIONS have been multiplied, each with-Ue
chapel and store tents, free writing tables, and
clothing, comforts and reading matter for gra
tuitous distribution. 8
\ OLUNTARY DELEGATEES, in numbers
greater than ever before, have been sent to preach
the Gospel at the stations and in regiments, bat
teries and camps without Chaplains, distribute
reading matter and stores, and labor for the good
of the Soldiers.
A PERMANENT FIELD AGENCY has been
sufficiently extended to establish stations and
superintend the work. -*■
THE BLESSING- OF GOD rests signally on all
parts of the work. Many thousands have been
cheered, benefited and saved. Still a large part
of the Army remains onreached, and double the
number, both of stations and delegates, are needed
to meet the urgent demand for them.
The Christian Uommisslon offers to the people a
perfectly reliable and wonderfully economical
channel to reaeh the entire army in all its various
fields. The money given goes in full measure, in
benefits for body and soul, directly to the Soldiers
and stores also, immediately from the hands of
delegates from home, who add words and deeds of
kit dness to the gifts when bestowed.
Let the people give the Money and Stores, and
the work will be done. . •
TheJarge corps of Delegates now in the field
will serve as a grand corps of relief when the
armies.shall move and battles be fought, and the
greater their number the more prompt and effec
tive will be the relief they shall render.
Let not the, present work languish. "Wait not
for the cry ot the wonnded\ and dying before pro
viding relief.
