I am authorized by the Committee of the AntiSlavery Society,
to ask you to name some time for the actual delivery of your address. . . .
I believe that our Treasurer had no opportunity of paying
you the twenty dollars proposed. In view of the circumstances (as we rely
greatly on the sale of single tickets, in our course), the Committee seem to
think themselves authorized in offering you the full price for your first
lecture (or attempt at it) and ten dollars more should you come again, — making
thirty dollars in all.
