MESSRS. GREELEY AND MCELRATH:--

I have watched with interest your generous fund for the relief

and liberation of Kansas, now insulted, trodden down, torn, and

enslaved by the President of the United States, acting as the

tool of the tyrannical Slave Oligarchy. To other funds for this

important charity I have already given according to my small

means; but, as a constant reader of the “Tribune,” I cannot miss

the opportunity which you afford to protest anew against an

unparalleled Crime, and to contribute anew to its mitigation.

Please to accept the check which I enclose for one hundred

dollars. I wish it were more, when so much is needed.

Believe me, Gentlemen, your faithful servant,
