The unfortunate life of Mrs.Wentworth, and the sad fate of herself and the little Ella, did not fail to make him actively alive to the duties of the wealthy towards those who were driven from their homes by the enemy, and compelled to seek refuge in the States held by the Confederate government.
Every time a refugee arrived at his locality he visits the unfortunate family with a view to finding out the state of their circumstances.
If he discovers they are in need, relief is immediately granted, and the parties placed above want.
By his energy and perseverance he has succeeded in forming a society for the relief of all refugees coming into the country, and as President of the same, has infused a spirit of benevolence in the members, which promises to become a blessing to themselves as well as to the wretched exiles who are in their midst. The little Alfred is still with the Doctor, and is a source of much pleasure to the old gentleman.
