Brig. Gen. R. H. Milroy
 
                          Dear Sir

 
                               There is a Society
 
organized in this county, composed
 
of patriotic men and women, called
 
the Jasper Co. Soldier’s Aid Society,
 
which meets once a week.  The object
 
of the Society, as its name indicates
 
is to afford relief to wounded and
 
sick soldiers as far as lies in their
 
power and to see that all the
 
families of volunteers are amply
 
provided for.  In addition to this,
 
the Society is also a sort of a
 
military class meeting or rather a
 
class meeting to discuss military affairs.
 
Every member is expected to express
 
his or her views with the utmost
 
freedom; and if any one has
 
an interesting letter, or other news,
