The Committee had applications for more than double those present a number
of applications, however, were for girls, but none of those latter were
sent, and we have learned since that the society sent out none but boys.
If others are wanted they can be shipped by leaving their applications
with either Messers. I. H. Harding, W. W. Merritt or C. C. Platter, the
same individuals who have just acted as a committee. This is upon
condition that the applicants shall not number less than fifteen.
We have just received a dispatch from Mr. Fry from New York, authorizing
us to say that there would be another company of children to arrive in
Red Oak Friday Oct. 12. Applications can be made as heretofore to the
individual men mentioned before.
