Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Board of Managers of the Association of Friends for the Aid and Elevation of the Freedman: With a List of Officers for the Year 1865
We deem it needless at this time to elaborate an argument to convince of the necessity for earnest, unfaltering service in the ever-enlarging field into which we have entered. It is suffi cient only to lift up our eyes and look upon the fields that we may know they are ripe already to harvest, and therefore, the call for laborers is pressing and imperative. Being desirous that this offering of our gleanings should give the receiver a clear understanding of our work during the past year, a repetition of former publications has been unavoidable.
