“Woodside, 13 Mar. 1868.
“Gentlemen—At a meeting of the citizens of Woodside, held last evening
to consider the matter of a new Township it was resolved that the
passage of the Bill now before the Legislature was desirable and Major
Sears and Mr. Alfred Keen were appointed (with power to select three
associates) to proceed to Trenton and urge the passage of said Bill.
“It was also resolved that the means to defray the expenses of these
gentlemen be provided by a contribution of one dollar each from the
signers of the Memorial, and I was appointed to collect such
contribution. It being impossible for me to spare the necessary time to
call upon you all, I request that you will hand the amount to my son,
the bearer.
“Respectfully yours,
”C. C. HINE,
