A LETTER FROM THE LADIES
re: 145th Regiment flag

Erie, PA Sept. 24, 1862
To John S. Brown

Dear Sir:

Permit us to place in your charge a Flag for Colonel Brown's Regiment which please convey to our gallent volunteers--

We wish you to present the Banner to the 145th Regiment in behalf of the Ladies of Erie.

Say to our friends when they look upon its folds, to remember that while it is an emblem of our Union and national greatness, it is also a token, that though far from Home yet the prayers and unceasing Solicitude of the Ladies of Erie forever accompany them.

We are sir, very respectfully yours,
Miss Augusta Craig, Ida Craig and Julia Pelton
