| Transportation is good, and communication
is uninterrupted. Abroad the case is reversed. At
Wilmington
there are now piled up in the depot two or three car
loads of boxes and packages destined for the army, which have been
detained there for weeks because of a lack of enterprise necessary to
forward them to their destination. How much comfort is contained in
that pile of parcels, eloquent with the sympathy and memory of distant
friends! What a world of suffering might be relieved if railroad
officials would only one day forget the almighty dollar and transmit
these needful articles to their owners! |
