Dear Sir
Enclosed I send you
$5. from E. R. Durkee Esq
$3. " Mrs. E. R. Durkee
$1. " L. M. Smith Esq
$1. " Geo. H. Burgess Esq
$5. " G. T. Coleman Esq.
.05 " Willie Durkee
.15 " Miss Kate Lane
$15.20.
The contributions of Willie Durkee and my little girl are rather small but it takes all their spare funds for the week, and they are the only contributors thus far that will have to deny themselves anything on account of the amount of their contributions.
I hope to be able to make you another remittance this week.
