C. H. Andrews. The Herald, Boston, Oct. 8, 1887 My dear Friend:
I have yours of yesterday and enclose a list of the subscribers. I cannot send the
amounts since it was understood that the individual sums should not be made known
and some of the largest givers expressly made that stipulation, on the ground that
it might be unjust to those who could give but little and yet in proportion gave
even more largely than
themselves. You will see that some are from outside Boston. Mrs. Van Renssalaer is,
I believe, the only representative of New York, but if there had been anybody there
to take hold we could have got many, I am confident. Mrs. Van R. is a genuine friend
and hearing of the project specially send sent
me word
she wished to subscribe. She was visiting here then.
Saw Kennedy yesterday: has been working hard reading proof. Saw Dr. Bartol the
other day and he spoke warmly of you.
What glorious October weather!
Faithfully yours, Sylvester Baxter.
