<p class="css-exrw3m evys1bk0">To the Editor of the New-York Times:</p>
<p class="css-exrw3m evys1bk0">Will you call the attention of your readers generally, and of the friends of Miss CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN particularly, to the testimonial of appreciation of her worth, remarkable genius and patriotic liberality, which is about to be sent from our shores to her in her distant home at Rome.</p>

<p class="css-exrw3m evys1bk0">Some of the leading artists of New-York, Boston and Philadelphia, united in furnishing sketches for an album, containing in all about fifty paintings in oil and water, which was contributed by them to the great Central Fair, recently held in the latter city for the Sanitary Commission, with the understanding that the volume, valued at $1,500, should be subscribed for by the friends of Miss CUSHMAN in these three cities and be presented to her through the Fair. About $700 were raised in Philadelphia, about $500 in Boston; but as yet only $100 has been received from New-York. A check for $100 from San Francisco was sufficient to pay the expenses incurred in binding, which work was beautifully executed in green, gold and ivory -- a very gem of art.</p>

<p class="css-exrw3m evys1bk0">The President of the Sanitary Commission feels it to be a great pleasure to call universal attention to the patriotic munificence of our distinguished country woman, Miss CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN, who, from the vessel in which she leaves our shores, modestly sends the full amount of her splendid donations to the sick and wounded through the United States Sanitary Commission.</p>
