Dear Friend

Buttre 32- Portland st- Hew York- to send you the prints you name- If he has any on hand he will do so at once- - if he hasn't- I will send you an imperfect Vol. I. and you can take the engravings out of it- But-I want you to promise me that you will keep me in mind of your wish- for I surely can give you
I have Mrs McClarens in Rochester- and will try & remember it when there a week hence-
Your idea is a nice one - - I wonder if I shall ever he at home long enough to read the two last volumes of your fathers life-
I am to attend the wedding of my nephew- Wendell Phillips Mosher- at Cleveland Ohio- the 17th int- and shall then go to

Dear Friend

Buttre 32- Portland st- Hew York- to send you the prints you name- If he has any on hand he will do so at once- - if he hasn't- I will send you an imperfect Vol. I. and you can take the engravings out of it- But-I want you to promise me that you will keep me in mind of your wish- for I surely can give you the pictures-
I have Mrs McClarens in Rochester- and will try & remember it when there a week hence-
Your idea is a nice one - - I wonder if I shall ever he at home long enough to read the two last volumes of your fathers life-
I am to attend the wedding of my nephew- Wendell Phillips Mosher- at Cleveland Ohio- the 17th int- and shall then go to
- & then to Chicago & then to Huron S. D.- - my mail may be directed to the care of Mr J. H. DeVal- Huron- S.D. - I shall not reach there until near May 1st-
I have no doubt the three- for there are only three persons- who stand off- & say deliver over- will be all right-the minute I am there on the spot-
Rev Annie Shaw commences a three weeks tour in S. D. on the 9th- I have made her route just to the chief cities- to give them a taste of her powers to rouse the people to action- - If I could be in two places at same time- which I've never learned to do- 1 should love to be in Boston at your May Anniversary! - I hope you'll raise $10,000- there- - If we only had money enough to pay not liberally but just the smallest pay- - but the $2,000 of our Com. is a mere bagatelle- wont carry but two or three speakers through the campaign- But I am getting some good Volunteer Service- Mrs Wallace- for one- but it is a shame to let her give her services for a month- - Oh- if the people who have "Millions" could only see that their cash service- wasn't a drop in the bucket of sacrifice compared with the offerings of 50 cts & $1 of the poor - Think of Senator & Mrs Palmer sending $50,- it is good- but as I said- nothing- compared with the millions & millions the two possess!- So I hope you'll add 5. 10. 15. thousand to he N. A. Fund - - Miss Shaw, in her trip- will learn more of the Status of things in S. D. -
Sincerely yours
