J. Reilly Gordon Esq: Sec'y
Dear Sir:
I herewith send copy of report of Treasurer, which was sent to me by Mr. Stewart, having been left in his hands after last meeting. I also received a check for $95.00 from Herbert, which as you will see does not quite agree with the report, but still leaves me in a position to satisfy the most pressing creditors of the Ass'n and relieve it of its immediate necessities, which I will do, if you will have the enclosed accounts properly countersigned, according to the constitution.
Yours Truly,
[Dictated]
P.S. There is also an old account against J. J. Kane, for $4.37 for gold badge, which is the only one remaining unpaid.
