Dear Brethren,—

I address the committee in Nashville. I understand that as fast as the money pledged should come in, it would be sent to the committee at Nashville. There have been so many mistakes made I thought I would write you a few lines and say I made an appeal for this donation to come to Nashville at once and to be applied where the necessities seem to demand, at the present time, to advance the work in preparing buildings to carry forward the work, and in the advancement of the work as the cause of God can be best advanced. 16LtMs, Lt 208, 1901, par. 1

I shall try to raise means here. A few dollars only were raised in Boulder. About three hundred dollars were pledged—most of it pledged in Denver upon the selling of land, that makes it uncertain—but above one hundred was raised to send at once. I write because I wish this matter to be sure, that the money goes where it should go, for I specified the very work that was to be done in Nashville. 16LtMs, Lt 208, 1901, par. 2
