The following letter addressed by the Chairman to the American Minister in Chili briefly states the disposition of the Chili Relief Fund : December 6th, 1906. I have this day on behalf of the citizens of San Fran- cisco sent you Five Thousand ($5,000.00) Dollars by cable for the benefit of the sufferers of the Valparaiso disaster, which you will please deliver to the proper authorities on its recei])t, giving credit to the citizens of San Francisco. The day after the disaster, the citizens of San Fran- cisco sent by cable Ten Thousand ($10,000.00) Dollars di- rectly to the President of the Republic of Chili. I am not aware of any formal acknowledgement of this gift, but in the newspapers, I observe that it was the first foreign dona- tion received and was greatly appreciated. Will you kindly see that both the gifts are formally acknowledged? I have advised the American National Red Cross at Washington of these transactions and have also sent them a draft for Thirty-four Hundred ($3,400.00) Dollars to aug- ment their Chili Relief Fund, so that the total contribution of the citizens of San Francisco, raised by popular subscrip- tion for the relief of Valparaiso and environs is $18,400.00. San Francisco is fast recovering from the disaster by which the business part of the city was on April i8th last destroyed, and desires to express its sympathy for the suf- fering people of her sister city, occupying the same position on the Pacific in the South as San Francisco does in the North. —4— CHILI RELIEF FUND.

His Honor, the Mayor of San Francisco, California — Dear Sir: I have received through tlie Canadian Bank of Com- merce, New York, by cable to the Bank of Tarapaca and Argentina, Valparaiso, the sum of $5000 American gold, the gift of citizens of San Francisco to the earthquake sufferers in Valparaiso. I delivered yesterday to the Minister of Foreign Affairs a certificate of deposit for the amount, in Chilean currency. As you probably know, the first donation received in Santiago was the sum of $10,000 American gold, from the citizens of San Fran- cisco. I delivered the certificate of deposit to the President three or four days after the earthquake. This latter gift makes $15,000, a wonderful act of chaiity from a city stricken in a like manner only a few months since. As no name was mentioned in the notice from the bank, I send this acknowledgement to you and I shall be glad if you will notify the proper persons that the money has been delivered to the Chilean authorities. Very sincerely yours, JOHN HICKS, liinerican Minister. i2— V ")'■ ;■ A 3»m UlliUCI Gaylord Bros. Makers Stockton, Calif, PAT. JAN 21, 1908 J.
