Harvard Relief Fund for Chelsea

A Harvard relief fund for the Chelsea sufferers has been started by the CRIMSON, and contributions are to be left with the Cambridge Trust Company or in a box in the Union placed there for that purpose. This fund, when it aggregates an appreciable amount, will be sent to Lee, Higginson & Co., to be added to the general fund.

All day yesterday relief funds poured into the burned city. A fund started by Lee, Higginson & Co. aggregated over $10,000, $15,000 was donated by the state, $26,000 was appropriated by the neighboring city of Lynn, and large sums were sent from Somerville, Malden and other cities. An appeal has been made to all the cities and towns in Massachusetts, it is expected that at least $1,000,000 will be needed to relieve the distress adequately.
