Scope and content:

A.L.S. Boston. Reports he has collected about $70,000 for MVLA, $65,000 of which he has turned over to the Ladies; $5000 remains in hands of Trustees in Boston. This total ($70,000) made up of proceeds from (1) his lectures (2) weekly column in the New York Ledger (3) sums sent to him by readers of the Ledger. Mr. Hillard's article in Appleton's Cyclopoedia (Vol. VII, p. 353) brought about $600, since written. Does not object to Eliot's stating Everett's contributions to MVLA separately from the rest of Boston's. A-639
