BOSTON, November 24.
Dear Sir: It will, I
am sure, give you pleasure to know that a committee of whom I am one, appointed
at a meeting held a few days ago in Boston, have already raised about five
hundred dollars to aid your afflicted family. Part of the money was received
from the sale of tickets, and part has been sent in without any effort on our
part. We are going to advertise in the newspapers, and expect to get a much
larger sum by this means.
S. E. Sewall.
P. S. We hope to
raise a fund of $10,000 for your family, and I think from what has already been
done, the amount cannot fall much short of that sum.
