Dear Madam

AN APPEAL FOR CHARITY!

You have noticed the papers of Dec. 7th, the loss of the three-masted fishing
schooner Cora S McKay, supposed to have foundered on the Grand Banks on Sept. 12th during the Galveston hurricane, with her crew of thirty who leave here fifteen widows and fifty-four orphans to mourn their sad loss, losing all the had to provide for them.
All contributions will be gratefully acknowledged through the colums of the press,
a copy of which will be mailed to each donor. He that gives to the poor, lends to the Lord.
