Dear Sir:

Find enclosed check for $20. And why not for $24? On the principle, that a part of a loaf is better than no bread. I have a letter from Dr. Sears in which he says: (after having stated that he is to have less money to disburse) "We shall, therefore, be obliged to curtail our operations, that is to give less aid, or give it for a shorter time, or to a smaller number of places" &c.

I must drop some, and reduce all. I hope this explanation will be satisfactory if the remittance is not.

Very Respy
