Boston, Feb. 19, 1857.
My Dear Sir, —
Enclosed you will find seventy dollars. Please write to John Conant, of East
Jaffrey, N. H., and acknowledge receipt; or write to me saying you have
received the Jaffrey money, and I will send your letter to them. It is for your
own personal use, and not for the cause in any other way than that. I am sorry
not to have seen you before you left. It may not be amiss to say that you may
find yourself disappointed if you rely on the National Kansas Committee for any
considerable amount of money. Please to consider this as confidential; and it
is only my own opinion, without definite knowledge of their operations.
I hope they will get a great deal of money, but think they will not. The did
managers have not inspired confidence, and therefore money will be hard for
them to get now and hereafter. This check, you will see, needs your
indorsement.
May God bless you, my dear sir, is the wish of your friend,
Amos A. Lawrence.
