To the People Of Mianesota.
The undersigned, Vice Regent Of the
Mount Vernon Ladies Association, again
appeals to you for your cooperation in col.
Letting funds for the Association. The
Ladies in other States are devoting them
selves successfully TO that object, and it is
morally certain that before the lapse Of many
months, the whole OF the sum required for
the purchase Of Mount Vernon, and for the
repairs, improvements, and preservation Of
the estate" will have been placed at the
disposal Of the Regent. Shall il be said,
that Minnesota has failed TO do her part for
the promotion of so sacred an object Em.
barrassed, and almost crushed AZ she has
been by the tina ncal crisis which has more
or less affected every branch OF business in
al the States Of the Union, the patriotism
Of her sons and daughters will not permit
them to refuse contribution for the accom-
plishment Of so noble purpose.
