2768 - L Oct. 18; cd:2/1 - The Freedmen's Relief association has done
much for the 30,000 freed people in Washington and vicinity, and is
now endeavoring to establish primary schools for their instruction.
Suitable buildings are necessary. . J. J. Brown of the city, proposes
contributions for erection of school buildings in Ohio. "It is a work
which richly deserves the patronage of our citizens. Ohio is so over-
whelmingly on the side of Freedom, that we feel sure Mr. Brown will
receive encouragement in his great work. Let Cleveland, in particular,
be liberal in a work of this kind." ' (7)

2769 - L. Oct. 31:4/3 - A meeting of the Freedmen's Aid commission was
held last evening in the Second Presbyterian church. Professor Peck
gave an account of the progress of the commission. He told of the
worth of the commission in northern Virginia respecting the contrabands.
He said things went badly with this large and increasing class until
General Butler issued his famous order "No 14, " whose doctrine was that
the freedmen are the inevitable charge and children of the government.
He stated that before the announcement of that doctrine, "the condition
of the blacks was worse than slavery itself. They were kicked about,
defrauded and abused." But under General Butler's policy the black
colony is growing in every respect. They are thriving in schools, on
farms, and fast learning the science and Art of life." (18)

2770 - L Nov. 8:4/3 - In a letter to the editor, D. W. Gage, secretary
of the Cleveland Freedmen's Aid commission says: At a meeting of the
commission held Nov. 2, plans were made to canvass this city for money,
clothing, and sanitary supplies for relief of suffering and destitute
freedmen. It is hoped that everyone who has any feeling for these down-
trodden people, and who has anything to contribute to this cause will
at once hand it to the committee. The greatest suffering is in the
hospitals and among orphan children. Food is needed for the sick more
than for clothing. Send all money and supplies to H. K. Reynolds,
treasurer, Freedmen's Aid commission, Cleveland, O. (12)
