81 am aware, sir that you not in the habit
of contributing to the columns of any periodical,
and that you fortunately situated financially
! that no pecuniary reward offered to you for your
own personal benefit would induce you to deviate
from your usual course; but your dsnterested devo
tion to- and the deep interest you have taken n the
noble work to which have referred, leads me to
hope that for the sake of aiding it, you may accept
my proposition, Very respectfully,
! ROBERT Bonner,
Proprietor of the New York Ledger"
! Mr.. Everett replies on November 9Th, and says;
benefit accrung to myself would induce me to un-
dertake the task; although the financial situation
to which you allude is far less brilliant than you may
have been edLto think by exaggerated newspaper
reports feel that it is my duty not to forgo this
opportunity of adding large sum, at once to
the Mount Vernon Fund, and l accept the offer. |
will begin to furnish the articles as the i'm
mediate demands upon my time to fulfill some pre-
vous engagements shall ceasein the course of this
month at iurthest-and will continue them, as far
as possible, weekly, making up at the end of the

public with the indulgence usually extended to
gratuitous labors in meritorious cause
81 shall venture to call the articles thus furnished

perhaps be permitted, as appropriately Indicating
the object for which they prepared; and so ex-
cusng their imperfections,
