Transcript

Hopkinton March 2’d 1841

Dear Brother

I send enclosed two subscription-papers - containing 19 names - all good. I am sorry I could obtain no more - one paper after it had been handed to me was burned by my carelessness - but all the names may be read - except one or two - the one signed by A. [Ranaden] or Runaden - the uncertainty [Mr] Whipple will explain when the books come.

All your friends and relations in this quarter are well and hope you will succeed in your benevolent Enterprise for the good of Mankind. We all send our Love to you and to each of your family

Your Brother Baruch Chase
