Cummings, T.S. (from Mss Cov-Cu file) (M.) 58 East 13th Street Mar 4. 1861 To the Council of the N.A.D. Gentlemen My Attendance on the School prevents my being wt [[with]] you in Council this evening in 10th Street. I beg to submit to your consideration as Treasurer the fact — That we are at present without funds — The treasury is not only empty - but over drawn. Therefore dearly beloved bretheren this is to counsel you to be economical — most rigidly so — in every thing. More over I would add. That the Anvrsy exhibition receipts are already mortgaged with the rent inclusive for something like unto Four thousand dollars, over and above its ordinary expenses.. Which I trust it may be able to meet - but do not expect it to do so. Sincerely & Vry truly [[?]] Thomas S. Cummings Treas [[Treasurer]]
