NAWSA GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE CROSBY, W.C.

Bangor March 23, 1854
Miss Lucy Stone

Dear Madam

The gentlemen who
invited you to visit Bangor find themselves in funds to the
amount of Two hundred sixty three dollars which they
have decided to appropriate as follows.

To American Anti Slavery Society $75.00
To Bangor Female Orphans Society $75.00
To Bangor Female Charitable Society$50.00
To Sewing School for poor Children $25.00
To Publishing tracts in the Educational and Industrial
      Operations of Women $38.00
[total]           $263.00

Of this last sum it is intended that $15 shall be applied to
the expense of printing "Woman and her wishes" which we understand 
was paid by Rev. J. W. Higginson.

I do not know how to remit the $75 for the Amer.
Anti Slavery Soc. through any better channel than yourself.
Accordingly I enclose check of Eastern Bank in Suffolk 
Bank for $113 payable to your order to be by you applied
above mentioned.  Will you inform me of its safe arrival.

I believe our disposition of the funds is satisfactory
here and those who contributed to form it universally express  great
gratification in having listened to your lectures. Dr. O.W. Holmes
who was here on last Thursday eve. suffered some in  reputation
by way of contrast.

Truly your friend
W. C. Crosby
