And $1.00 from some modest individual who didn’t give his name, making a total of $126.00. The disbursements are: May 10. For printing $14.49 Delmonico’s 21.50 June 11. Delmonico’s 7.33 Oct. 6. By check to President of the State Chapter, 75.00 Mr. Clarke, for pamphlets distributed on boat —————— $118.32 Leaving a balance of $7.68 in the treasury for your action. DR. QUINLAN: This is really a part of the business of the State Chapter, and the report should be accepted through the Vice-President. I will ask Mr. Clarke to receive the same. MR. BUTLER: Mr. President, I think it is also eminently proper that we recognize our obligation to the members of our Society who guaranteed fifty dollars each towards expenses. The amount is small, but let it be recognized as a liability. MR. JOSEPH I. C. CLARKE: The matter that Mr. Butler has brought before the meeting is really a matter belonging to the New York Chapter, and I don’t think it is pertinent with this meeting at all. I shall be very glad at a subsequent meeting of the chapter to take up this matter. The money that was collected has been expended, and I believe there is still a balance. I would like to see the meeting proceed to the literary end of it. DR. QUINLAN: The next order of proceedings will be the presentation of scientific papers. The first to have been read was by Hon. Joseph F. O’Connell, member of Congress from Massachusetts. Unfortunately, Mr. O’Connell is detained unavoidably at Boston on account of a hotly contested municipal election, and has notified us of his inability to be present. He will, however, submit his paper to the Secretary-General later, which, after approval by the Executive Council, will be ordered printed. The next is an article on Stonewall Jackson by John Louis Sheehan, LL. D., Professor at Boston University School of Law. DR. SHEEHAN: Mr. President-General, Officers and Members of the American Irish Historical Society, it gives me great pleasure today to pay tribute to the memory of that hero of the South, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. Doctor Sheehan then read his paper, which is printed in full elsewhere in this volume. DR. QUINLAN: As these papers are published in full in the Journal of the Society, and as our time is getting so short, I will ask, if it be consistent, that the readers give them in abstract.
