I this day saw your friend Colonel Forbes; he is trying to
raise funds to get his family brought to this country, but I fear he will not
succeed very well. I will have, when collected, some six dollars only in my
hands; this I intend passing into his hands. I may get a few dollars more, but
the prospects are not very good here at present to raise money. The colonel
says he is getting along well in getting his printing done (and is losing no
time).
