Executive Office Nov 2 1863. <hr /> NORTH-WESTERN FAIR FOR THE Sanitary Commission At the late Convention of Ladies from the North-Western States, held in Chicago, September 1st and 2nd, to make arrangements for the Grand Fair to be held in that city, the last week of October and first week of November, a Committee was appointed to prepare a circular for general distribution, specifying what articles were needed for that purpose, and giving such instruction and information as might be deemed necessary to efficient and intelligent action. In enumerating the donations needed for the Fair, the Committee have thought best to arrange them in the following classes: CLASS FIRST Knitted stocking and socks for men, women and children; all manner of useful and ornamental articles in fancy knitting; shawls, sontags, tripods, collars; hoods; Polish boots, childrens' gaiters, shirts and drawers, mittens, wristlets, undersleeves, baby socks; foot-cushings, sofa-pillows, carriage-blankets and Afghans; articles of childrens' and infants' clothing, shirts, aprons, &c; gentlemen's dressing-gowns, smoking-caps, slippers, shirt-bosoms and collars; embroideries, &c. CLASS SECOND. All useful and ornamental articles in wax, leather, shell, bead, hair and cone work; fancy vases, preparations of autumn leaves, sea mosses, skeletonized leaves, hanging baskets, drawing and paintings, acquaria, herbaria, mineralogical and etomological cabinets or single specimens, shells, stuffed birds, Indian curiosities, winter bouquets, crosses, floral designs of “immortelles” or German amaranths, &c., &c.; work-baskets, needle-books, pin-cushions, emery balls, &c., in every variety. CLASS THIRD. Articles to be donated by manufacturers or dealers, such as musical instructions, sewing, knitting, washing and wringing-machines, cabinet furniture, carriages and saddlery, jewelry and silver work, fancy china and miniature setts; toys of all kinds; fancy dry goods, furs and millinery goods; books, stationery, pictures and photographs. Articles of this class will be marked with the name and residence of the maker and donor, and whenever sold, will not be removed till the close of the Fair. <hr /> 2 CLASS FOURTH. Agricultural and dairy products of every kind, which will be marked, exhibited and sold in the same manner as class Third. CLASS FIFTH. Evergreens for decorative purposes---these should be made into wreaths; the rare and more delicate, such as ground pine, into shields, stars, crossess, mottoes, &c. A few small and shapely evergreen trees are desired. CLASS SIXTH. Fruits---Apples by the box, barrel or basket; choice winter apples and pears with the varieties marked. Fall fruits, apples, quinces and grapes. All articles in the above six classes may be sent at any time during the week preceding the Fair, care being taken to ensure their arrival at Chicago by the twentieth of October. CLASS SEVENTH. Flowers and floral designs; green-house plants in pots. Donors of this class in Michigan will please send their offerings during the first week of the Fair; in Wisconsin and Iowa, the second week; and in Illinois at any time during the Fair. It is desirable that the same order should be observed in sending the edibles for the dinner and refreshment tables. CLASS EIGHTH. Supplies for the tables; turkeys, chickens, hams, tongues, halibut, salmon, roast beef and mutton; birds, and all varieties of game; pork and beans, and oysters. Al of these (excepting the latter) must be thoroughly and carefully cooked. Tea, coffee, chocolate, broma, sugar, and cream, so put up as to ensure its sweetness for two or three days. Plum and other cakes that will keep; mince, apple and cranberry pies, put up carefully in racks for transportation; preserves, jellies, jams, marmalades and canned fruits, also honey, in sealed jars; pickles of all kinds, sweet and sour, without vinegar, which will be added to them when opened for use; potatoes and vegetables of every kind, and of these too many cannot be sent. As a great number of knives, forks and spoons will be required for the use of the tables, donations of these articles are earnestly requested. They can afterwards be reserved for future occasions, or donated to the Soldiers' Homes, always in need of these utensils. CLASS NINTH. Trophies, battle relics, and mementoes of the war; battle-flags, rebel flags, shells, balls, guns, sabres, swords, or missiles of any kind, papers and documents, accompanied by a statement of whatever gives to each its peculiar interest. These will be arranged for exhibition and sale in a room especially <hr /> 3 devoted to that purpose, and will be one of the most attractive features of the great Fair. In addition to the articles of this kind donated for sale, it is proposed to receive for exhibition all articles from cabinets, organizations and individuals, loaned for this purpose. Hence, State Historical Societies, Military Companies, or private individuals, having articles of this class in this possession, who are willing to loan them, are requested to make known their willingness to one of the following Committee: Mrs. D. P. Livermore, Chicago, Ill; Miss Valeria Campbell, Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. Dr. Carr, Madison, Wis.; an Mrs. N. H. Brainard, Iowa City, Iowa. All pictures and works of art donated, will be arranged in a gallery, lighted so as to exhibit them to the best advantage. Loans of pictures and statuary are solicited for the exhibition. They will be handled with great care, be arranged by competent persons, and during their exhibition will be in charge of a careful custodian, and afterward, will be well packed, and returned to their owners. Donations of money are also needed to meet contingent expenses in the preparations of the Fair, which, in view of its great magnitude, must necessarily be heavy. There will be bills to be met for printing, mailing, painting, carpentering, cleaning of halls, expressage, decorations, &c., to liquidate which, donations of money will be indispensable. Money may be sent to either of the Committee whose names are subscribed to this circular, or to E. W. Blatchford, the Treasurer of the Chicago Sanitary Commission, care being taken to indicate the purpose for which it is donated. All articles intended for the Fair must be sent and directed in the same manner as Hospital Stores, marked Chicago Sanitary Commission, (for the North-Western Fair.) At the time of shipment, a letter of notification should be sent to the Secretary, E.B. McCagg, containing the bill of shipment and invoice of the box. Its receipt will be immediately acknowledged by letter. This will insure the free transmission of all boxes, barrels and package. At the close of the Fair, a complete catalogue of articles donated (with the names and residence of the donors), will be published, and a copy furnished to every contributor. Each State will be credited with the amount of her donations. Every Aid Society, Union League, and Good Templar's Lodge in the North-West, is requested to appoint a Committee IMMEDIATELY, to canvass its neighborhood, and secure laborers for this great work. Clergymen of all denominations, are urgently requested to interest their parishes in this great enterprise, and stimulate their ladies to the manufacture and donation of articles for the Fair. They can thus materially aid the noble cause of hospital relief, which need unintermitting benefactions. Efforts for the Fair should not interfere with the regular work for the hospitals. That must, in no wise, be diminished, or postponed. <hr /> 4 It would facilitate the labors of the Committee of Arrangements, if lists of articles promised could be forwarded to them at an early day, thus giving them power to supply important deficiencies. Letters may be addressed to Mrs. A. H. Hoge, or Mrs. D. P. Livermore, Chicago Sanitary Commission. The Fair will be opened on Tuesday morning, October 27th, at Bryan Hall, where visitors will be informed what other Halls are in use of the Fair. The arrangements are not sufficiently perfected to make this announcement at present. Dinner will be served in the lower Hall (Bryan) from 12 M. to 4 P.M., on Tuesday, and thenceforward, every day, at the same hours, during the continuance of the Fair. Arrangements are being made to dine from 1,000 to 1,500 persons, elegantly and comfortably, during each day of the Fair. There will be a brilliant evening entertainment, at Metropolitan Hall, on Tuesday evening, October 27h, and thenceforward every evening during the Fair. Particulars will be given hereafter in the papers, and at the Halls of Exhibition. The hearty, prompt, and efficient co-operation of the entire North-West, is urgently solicited. The great, every-renewed, and painful needs of our heroic soldiers, sick and wounded, in hospitals, call for the utmost efforts of all loyal men and women, to make this affair an overwhelming pecuniary success. It should be remembered that the Chicago Branch of the U.S. Sanitary Commission bestows it benefactions on all sick and wounded soldiers, without regard to state, rank, color, army or navy. Hence, it has claims on the liberality and labor of all loyal men and women. Mrs. A. H. HOGE, <pre>" D. P. LiIVERMORE, Chicago, Ill. </pre> <pre>" H. L. COLT, Milwaukee, WIs.

My husband is a Soldier in the service of Uncle Sam. he volenteered as a Private in the 127 Regiment Illinois Volenteers he went through all the hardships of the first attack of Vicksburg and so on until the first Charge on Vicksburg the 19 of May May, he was wounded at the time so many of his Brave comrads fell he laid in Hospital near Vicksburg until the 22 of July he then had a sick furlough for 30 days. he came hom his furlough run nearly out he had it extended he was out of money he had not received any since last February, he could not draw any here unless he went into Hospital <hr /> he went in the Hospital at Camp Douglas. they will not allow the Convalesent Solders to go out side of the Camp. neither will they let me in the Hospital to see him, they will not give him a pass to come home to see to his business, he is failing very fast if has got to stay there he will not live long. if he could have a furlough to come home so I could take care of him I think he would get better, then he would be of some service to the Government. his officers say he has always done his duty like a brave and honest man I have a family of four little Children that need a Fathers care, I appeal to your noble Heart for a hearing in this case: I think there might be something done to get him out <hr /> for a man to be kept in such a place as Camp Douglas to die for the want of care and the comforts of life only 16 miles from home is rather more than I know how to get along with I hope you will not feel insulted because I have taken the liberty to address you, it is a serious subject if you can assist me in any way to get my Husband home to save his life you will bestow a favor on us that I shall always be grateful for.
