No. 153.]

Sir: I have the honor to inclose an additional list of the names of contributors to the fund in aid of the sufferers from yellow fever in America.

It will be observed with satisfaction that the French people, members of the cabinet and others, including distinguished names, have responded liberally to the sufferings of our country-people. The generosity has been spontaneous and unsolicited.

Before this dispatch reaches the State Department, a considerable sum of money will have been forwarded to you in addition to the amount heretofore transmitted.

I have, &c.,

EDWARD F. NOYES.
