help us, and soon? For [instance?]
your Artistry, [illegible] , and
Philanthropie men in Rochester
Also will you ask the Colored
people there to help the [illegible]
of suffering women and children
of their people here.
You will see by the circular
what we are in most need of.
We are [illegible] at our Office
for wood & food & clothes & beds &
bedding - You cannot [imagine?]
the [destitution?]. The weather is
severe, and many Mothers have
only kept their children from freezing
by sitting up with them, all night
& holding them close to them, in
[turn?]- While many of them are
on the point of starvation. [Work?]
is so exceedingly scarce & so
high, that you can [see?] that 30,000 of
these people here [must?] suffer.
With sincere regards - Josephine S. Griffing
