Chapter, through Mrs. Rathburn, to do all we could there. "Freely ye have received, freely give." The next day the following shipment of supplies was made to the hospital at Fort McPherson, Atlanta: 500 sheets, 150 towels, 100 suits of underwear, 200 pillow-cases, 100 spittoons, 25 rubber blankets. This, of course, took all we had in our supply room, and a great many more which were purchased. Just as we were thinking of giving the money for this purpose, and wondering what we would do for our sick soldiers at Camp Thomas, Dr. Trimble received funds from other sources, which relieved the situation.

Regent.

Chattanooga, Tenn., September 8, 1898.

N. B.-It seems necessary to explain that Chattanooga is fourteen miles from Chickamauga Park. Any boxes directed to Chickamauga,

Georgia, Leiter Hospital, Lyttle, Steinberg Hospital, or any regiment or brigade, would not reach our depot of supplies in Chattanooga, but go through Chattanooga and lodge or not in the freight blockade at Lyttle, several miles from Camp Thomas; Chickamauga Park is ten miles square. We were only responsible for the unpacking and delivery of those sent to 116 Eighth street, the address given in our circular.

I need nothing now, except to say, the need of our work is greater than at any time since the beginning. The number sick is enormous. We are to-day, as on the 2d of June, overwhelmed by the urgent calls of the sick and needy soldiers at Camp Thomas. We hope for better conditions before this report is read.

I trust this report is sufficiently full. I remain,

Yours truly,

AMELIA I. CHAMBERLAIN,

Regent Chickamauga Chapter.

CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE, August 12, 1898.

LOOKOUT MT., TENN., September 9, 1898.

My Dear Mrs. Lockwood: Thank you for your kind response to my request to print my report of relief work of Chickamauga Chapter in your AMERICAN MONTHLY. I was disappointed not to have it ready in time, as I wanted it to appear with the other Tennessee Chapters reports. Now that the pathetic side of our great encampment is known, and record of all men, I wish that every mother whose son suffered or died at Camp Thomas, Chickamauga, could know of the great army of Chattanooga women who have given one hundred days of noble service to the sick soldiers in field hospitals. Even the people of their own town have no idea of the extent of personal service rendered for love of country. Daily we see illustrated the line of George Herbert, "Who sweeps the house for thy law, make that and the action fine." This thought came to me as I saw the daintily nurtured girls, with their sweet, refined faces, serving as volunteer cooks with their older chaperons in the light diet kitchens for the division hospital. It seems so little for us to give $300 towards the expense, but so much for that noble band of ladies to go out each morning fourteen miles and cook all day in the heat of August that the sick soldiers might have properly cooked food.

Wherever we have given a donation we can bear testimony to heroic personal service. Hoping you can give my report of the Chickamauga Chapter a place in the October number of your valuable Magazine (I am very proud of the September number) I enclose statement of receipts and disbursements of our Chapter reported at regular meeting yester

day. Please print it at end of my report, instead of the one given you on 12th September. This is more complete. Hoping you can oblige me, I am Yours truly,

AMELIA CHAMBERLAIN,

Regent.

The Daughters of the American Revolution in Tennessee have been energetic and enthusiastic in their patriotism since. the beginning of the Hispano-American war. They have accomplished much in alleviating the sufferings of the sick, and by relieving the discomforts and monotony of camp life to those who had so recently left comfortable homes and anxious friends. Chickamauga Chapter at Chattanooga Tennessee, and her most worthy Regent, Mrs. H. G. Chamberlain, found a great work at their own doors, and they have accomplished much in assisting the Government officials in caring for the great numbers of sick at Camp Thomas, in Chickamauga Park.

BONNY KATE CHAPTER (Knoxville, Tennessee) Mrs. L. G. Tyson, Regent, has also worked faithfully for the soldiers in Camp Bob Taylor, near their city. This Chapter has contributed liberally to the National Hospital Corps Fund, and have added materially to the comfort of the soldiers in Colonel Tyron's regiment (husband of their regent) Cumberland Chapter, Nashville, Mrs. Nathaniel Baxter, Regent, and Campbell Chapter, same city, Mrs. Eugene C. Lewis, Regent, have contributed to the National Daughters of the American Revolution Hospital Fund and have given aid to the soldiers in the tented field in many ways that were helpful and comforting to them. Margaret Gaston Chapter, at Lebanon, Tennessee, Mrs. B. P. Tarver, Regent, has also contributed to the War Fund. It is a small Chapter but a very generous one. Watauga Chapter, Memphis, Tennessee, Mrs. Clarence Selden, Regent, has carried on a most noble work in supplying numberless comforts to the soldiers of the Second Tennessee Regiment; these enterprising women have worked for sick and well equally, hoping to relieve to some extent the great discomforts of camp life to those who had given up all to serve their country in her time of need. Others of the Memphis Daughters of the American Revolution have worked faith

fully to enthuse and encourage the soldiers as they passed through their city on their way to the seat of war, by substantial evidences of their patriotism, as well as by kind words and genial smiles; they have also raised money which they sent to the Chickamauga Hospital at Chattanooga, in response to an appeal for aid from the Chickamauga Chapter in the above named city. Notably among these true mothers, wives and sisters we find the name of our honored ex-State Regent, Mrs. J. Harvey Mathes, of Memphis, and also one of our most patriotic honorary State Regents, Mrs. T. I. Latham, of Memphis. These two enthusiastic Daughters are untiring in their efforts to advance the Daughters of the American Revolution work in their city.-M. C. P.

CHEMUNG CHAPTER (Elmira, New York).-Having chosen August 29th as their Chapter day, this being the anniversary of the battle of Newtown, the Sons and Daughters of the Newtown Battle and Chemung Chapters most delightfully celebrated the event by an afternoon reception held at the Country Club, the use of which was offered them through the courtesy of the club. Nothing was omitted to make the occasion a most enjoyable and memorable one. Even the street cars were decorated with blue and white bunting, the colors of the National Societies.

The wide verandas were artistically draped with the Stars and Stripes and within a profusion of gaily colored flowers and the playing of national airs by the band, made the scene most attractive. In the reception room on either side of the entrance were placed two large pictures of Rear Admiral Sampson and Admiral Dewey, framed by a background of blue and white. The guests were received by the Regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Miss Mary Park, and by the Second Vice-Regent, Mrs. J. D. Fletcher Slee, also by the President of the Sons of the American Revolution, Dr. Theron A. Wales, and First Vice-President Mr. Sutherland. Dewitt.

Coffee and ices were served in the dining-room. The table, presided over by Mrs. Henry Clark and Mrs. Harley Hallock,

presented a beautiful appearance, being decorated by a handsome floral centre-piece of blue and white with broad bands. of red ribbon extending on either side. The bon-bons were also of red, white and blue. The members of the local Chapters felt themselves highly favored by the presence of several distinguished guests, among whom was one whom the Daughters especially delight to honor as one of those who were instrumental in founding the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1890; Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, of Washington, District of Columbia, Editor of AMERICAN MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

It was easy to imagine themselves back upon the eve of the war-like times, which the societies commemorate, when Brigadier General Liscum, bearing with him the marks of injuries so recently sustained in fighting in his country's service, could add only his mark to the great book. Ensign F. L. Payne, of the navy, was also present, bringing with him many exciting tales of experiences endured in the recent war. Those present from other Chapters were: Mrs. Larnham, of the Tuscarora Chapter, of Binghamton; Mrs. Benton McConnell and Mrs. Shirley E. Brown, of the Canisteo Valley Chapter, of Hornellsville; Mrs. Charles Kingsley, Regent; Mrs. Reuben E. Robie, Mrs. John Davenport, Mrs. Reuben Lyon, Mrs. Harry G. Hull, Miss Nora Hull, Miss Mary M. Waldo, Miss Emily T. Howard, Miss Katharine A. McMaster, all of the Baron Steuben Chapter, of Baths, New York.
