General Butler writes on Headquarters, Department of New England stationery. States, "Your very truly acceptable present was gratefully received; not for its intrinsic worth for if gold it would not have been more valuable but for the cheering Consideration that I was to be strengthened by the availing prayers of a true hearted patriotic Christian Woman... A stranger yet a friend; a woman yet a strong fellow soldier in the Countrys cause, I have been told of your noble acts of beneficent kindness to my soldiers at 'Camp Seward'.."
