When the procession had arrived
at the bottom of the elevated lawn,
on the bank of the I’otomac, where
the family vault is placed, the cavalry
halted, the infantry marched towards
the Mount and formed their lines—the
Clergy, the Masonic Brothers, and the
Citizens, descending to the Vault, anfl
the funeral service of the Church was
performed—the firing was repeated
from the vessel in the river and the
sounds echoed from the woods and
hills around.
Three general discharges by the in-
fantry—the cavalry, and 11 pieces of
artillery which lined the banks of the
Potomac back of the vault, paid trib-
ute to the entombed Commander in

States and to the departed Hero.

you wonder that 1 have to write and
ask for help like this, as hunger hurts.
I never had any idea that I would ever
be forced to write a letter like this.
Brother-in-law Alexander, you have no
idea of the conditions around here, and
if you can, please help us from starv-
ation and also write to Uncle John.
Today forty pounds of ground rye are
costing 300,000 Rubles. During all
this bad time it is a blessing to have
friends in America. I hated to beg
but I am forced to do so, as the
children are calling for bread and there
is none here. Dear sister and brother-
in-law, I can’t tell you much about
papa. He is by himself now and our
only brother is by himself, both are
pretty hungry. Dear sister and
brother-in-law, tonight we haven't any
bread and 1 have to close. All good
luck to you and kisses to you all.
Your sister,
Natalie Rokkel.
P. S.—We are figuring on going to
America in the spring and will make
everything good.
(The above letter to Mr. and Mrs.
A. Frank of Leon Valley, from their
sister in Russia, is an appeal suffici-
ent in itself. Mr. Frank says he is
responding and will appreciate any
help the good people here can ex-
tend. Anyone desiring to contribute,
will please leave their contribution at
the First State Bank, or if more con-
venient, give it to Mr. Frank.)
