Sir: The various schemes for raising money WIN
which the mails are Just now loaded, asking for inc
forwarding of ten cents and mailing copy OF tho
appeal to two Of your friends, etc, etc. as ruis
state an object as to the merit Of which you kno"
nothing and so no doubt many arc deluded into giving
The now Just before me asks for money 10 ounu
an inexpensive chapel at Shelter Island where there
s no Mace for religious service and asks that the
ton cents be mailed TO an address in Philadelphia
As own a cottage at Shelter Island, and have spent
six or more summers there, can say from my own
knowledge that there at the present time lhree
church buildings chapels, which is at iease Vno
more than the actual needs of the people REQUIRE
Miss Gregg may be innocent in this matter, put II IS
evident that this popular way of raising money IS
much abused and that people should only give 10 me
things they have some actual knowledge Of thought
