Relief association minutes and Red Cross minutes: volume
Manuscripts
The minutes begin on March 31, 1917 when a group of women met "in response to a call for aid from the Wilmington Women's National Defense League." Serena Prettyman was the secretary. The women met and discussed aid issues such as: raising money, the making of garments and surgical dressings, their corporation with the Red Cross, and other miscellaneous relief actions. By 1920, the group was only meeting once a year and the last entry is November 15, 1927. The minutes only take up the first 52 pages of the volume; the rest is blank.
