Third Annual Report
Summary
The Third Annual Report of the Frederick Association for the Relief and Improvement of the Condition of the Poor was presented at City Hall on November 26, 1866. The Association says that contributions from citizens have been generous this year as before. There are some critics of delivery of goods, but it is hard to know who is not deserving of help. The Association was worried that freed Negroes might become indolent and rely upon help, but they are given help if recommended by white neighbors. Thanks are extended to a number of individuals who were very generous and there is a lengthy report, ward by ward, of what was distributed and a financial accounting as well. The city of Frederick was acknowledged for a $200 donation. Report was signed by Henry M. Nixdorff, Secretary
