Transcript

In the very liberal and benevolent suggestion of Bishop Chase in his letter to Mrs Murphy, Burkett & Remington of Dec 3 /50 that the entire money received from England for the benefit of the Taylor family should be handed over to the eldest daughter, we beg to express our entire concurrence, and as far as we have any right to do so renounce any claim which we might have on that money, from the fact of three of those orphans residing with us.
