To lh? Soldiers' Aid Societies of S. C.
In answer to the numerous enquiries which have
been made by the different " Aid Societies which have
been recently formed throughout tho State, I have
been intruded by his Excellency Gov. Pickens, to
give the following information.
Depots will bo established by the Quartermaster
General, both in Charleston and Columbia, for tho
reception of all donations of clothing ; and ho is also
charged with the duty of forwarding and distributing
1 tho same.
The " Department" will rceeivo all donations of
clothing, say frock coats and pantaloons, of heavy
worsted goods, shirts and drawers, of heavy homespun
or flannel, wool, or heavy cotton socks, blankets
new or second hand, also heavy shoes.
The plan upon which tho State designs supplying
her soldiers with all necessary clothing, is based upon
their willingness to surrender to tho State the amount
ot money appropriated by the Confederate Govern,
inent for this purpose, say forty-two ($42) per annhm^
this sum not now being sufficient in consequence of
the greatly advanced cost of material. It is in view
of this fact that these laudablo "Associations" of ladies
and gentlemen, are cordiaiiy welcomed as coadjutors
in this noblo work, and In proportion to their
voluntary contributions of labor and materials, wid
the absolute cost of clothing for our gallant volunteers
be reduced.
In the event that any of the " Associations" should
not feel themselves able to furnish both material and
labor, the Quartermaster General is instructed by his
Excellency the Governor, to ro-imburse such Associations
the cost of all materials, at a rate not exceeding
similar materials purchased by tne "Department;"
and the quantity allowed for each garment shall be
tlio same as used in our Manufacturing Bureau.
Societies are particularly requested to advise the
Quartermaster General of the quantity of work they
can do j?cr week, and tlio amount of donations they
will probably send.
To prevent confusion and loss, the following method
lor marking packages should be strictly observed. All
Societies near Charleston, should ship to Charleston
nhd mark thus:
No. 1. TO QUARTERMASTER GENERAL
Charleston, S. C.
Trom Aid Society at (lierc insert place.)
Societies near Columbia, should ship and mark thus:
No. 1. TO ASSISTANT QUARTERMASTER,
Columbia, S. C.
From Aid Society (here insert name.)
The packages should be marked distinctly, and numbered
from one 1) upwards, A correct invoice should
accompany each shipment.
All articles shipped at the expense of the State.
