Excerpt from Final Report of the Chicago Relief Committee, I. O. O. F : Appointed by the R. W. Grand Lodge of Illinois to Receive the Benefactions of the Brotherhood, and Disburse the Same to the Sufferers by the Great Fire, Oct. 8th and 9th, 1871

It was obviously impossible to make a final report until the funds contributed had been expended. Owing to the generous and prolonged beneficence of the brotherhood, enough was contributed not only to meet the pressing needs of the terrible exigency, but also to relieve cases of special sufiering, after the more imme diate wants of the destitute thousands were supplied. This distribution has but recently ceased. Owing to the lapse of time, the intensity of the interest in the subject has greatly' diminished, especially since the kindred calamity which befell Boston. Hence the financial suc cess of the proposed volume would at this time be problematical.
