I thought this story from 20 February was amazing, the amount of cloth that these ladies made is almost unbelievable.

As these statements continue to come in it has been thought better to wait, until all are in before the medals are made. If we have committed any the parties will please write again. It is important that the names should be plainly written, and if we have not the correct spelling above, the persons attempted to be named will please send the name correctly spelled.
