Dear Miss Stebbins
I am afraid that I must have seemed to be inattentive to your request [...] I understood from your letter of Dec. 3 that you would draw upon me for one thousand dollars [...] I shall do my best to raise another thousand dollars [...] I shall be very sorry for you, & ashamed of my country men, if on seeing your work, they are not willing to pay something near what it is worth [...] It stands as Mann[?] stood & looks as he looked.
