Inclosed please find $5 for the American Missionary Association.
As I am now nearly ninety years old, this, in all probability,
is my last contribution to this good object. With my prayers for
this and every object of Christian benevolence,
I am yours truly, C. H.

The other day, when I thought that our loved American Missionary
Association was in debt, when I thought that our kind Father in
heaven had given us such overflowing crops in the past season,
and blessed us in every department (almost), it struck me that
there was something wrong in the supporters of the noble cause.
Well, let the time past suffice that we have been slack; let us
come up to the work.
Please find inclosed $25 for the old debt, $15 to constitute (in
part) two life members of the American Missionary Association,
and oblige yours,
A FRIEND.

In the _Congregationalist_ of last week, I noticed your “Appeal”
in behalf of the American Missionary Association, to which I
respond by inclosed draft for $24, pension for one quarter, for
service in the War of 1812.
An abolitionist from my first consideration of the enslaved in
our country, induced by the movement and utterances of the great
agitator--now happy, I trust, in his reward--I still feel that,
though their chains are broken, they are objects of sympathy and
aid in their anxiety and effort to become intelligent and useful
citizens. There is no department of benevolent effort to which I
more cheerfully contribute.
With respectful regards,
Yours truly, O. G.

Inclosed find six dollars ($6), which you will please accept
from our Sunday-school as a thank-offering for what the American
Missionary Association has done for us in the past. We would
gladly have made it more, but the pressure of so many conflicting
claims made it impracticable. We are just now paying for a new
organ.
