What were the donations toward Chicago after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871?|102659

What cities of the United States had donated money and/or supplies to Chicago after the fire of 1871?

_The Chicago fire relief effort challenges those who contend that private charity is insufficient to cope with disasters and that strong government action is necessary. Even before the fire was fully extinguished, the citizens of Cincinnati held a rally that raised $160,000 for fire victims. Citizens in dozens of other cities around the country did likewise. In New York City, wagons went through the streets to collect clothing. Money raised for the relief effort totaled $4.8 million, including nearly $1 million from 29 foreign countries. Much more was donated in goods such as clothing and food. This pattern of generosity has been typical of all major disasters in U.S. history._

Another donation from Cinncinnati:

The Chicago Tribune building was totally destroyed. The editor for the Cincinnati Commercial, unprompted, sent the Tribune everything it would need to begin publishing the newspaper again.

Queen Victoria donated books to replace the library. Only thing, our boom town had neglected to establish a library in the first place.
