was given the campaign today when
Mr.. kirkus received The following
letter from Colonel George A. Elliott.
a prominent churchman.
MIR. Dear Mr. Kirkus:
Il see by the newspapers that you
have secured four-ffths OF the pro-
posed endowment fund OF $4,000. for
Old Swedes Church, but are still
short $4,000. While we all have in
Vulnerable demands TO assist the phil
anthropic projects which seems to be
absolutely necessary in our modern
civilization. yet ! do feel that the
funds you are trying to establish for
the purpose of safeguarding the fu-
ture of the historic and sacred Old
Swedes Church, with its burying
ground must not fail OF completion.
To me IL seems OF greater importance
than many of the projects we are in
terested in and working for. although
they are all good.
"In order to make up this one
ffth which is lacking, some OF us
must do more. and / for one will add
so per cent. 10 my previous sub
scription made some months ago and
an additional so per cent II II shall
be necessary for completion Of the
fund. / feel sure there are many
persons who have not yet subscribed
but who will join in this worthy pro-
iect, for all Delawareans love the Old
Church. which is our connecting link
with the first settlers OF Delaware. /
trust you will soon have the full
amount pledged.
Very truly yours,
