Nov. 2, 1873 TO Hon. Wm Evar,s. Wa.hing.
ton, d. e.: Your dispatch of Nov. list received
last evening. We don't know from whom re-
| peated demands from New Orleans of which
You speak come. We do know that the reiter-
| ated statement that the Howard association
have balance of S250,00O to distribute after
the epidemic, Is absolutely untrue. We stop
ped contributions September 18th because we
then saw that we had ample funds
on hand and in sight to
meel any pFODaOle ana Lawful demands that
might be made on US. Since that tine from
points at which there was no fever there We
nave had demands upon which have carried
Us under obligations SlO0,0UO beyond the cal
culations we had made, and which we could not
have anticipated. We are to-day striving hard
| To meet these and Other obligations and come
out clear of debt. We have not vet paid the
| doctors who have so faithfully served at home,
though we hope yet to give them some partial
recognition of their services. We have
paid no attention to the repeated statements of
disappointed individuals or associations, poll
tlcians, race, sectarlsm, or otherwise, who have
started the report of large balances we were re-
tanning, and who asked of our funds for
their distribution. Ignoring their queries, VIC
have chosen to wait till our published report
shows, as it will, the distribution VIC have
made of the money SO generously sent US. We
give you, as a representative of the general
government, this statement of facts
