He wrote: I am enelos- ing herewith the sum of Fifty (50) centa (conscience money) with an explanation for doing so.

The prelimin- aries to the istue of the cross are, in fact, being worked out. Designs have been prepar- ed and are now being considered with a view to the selection of the most auitable, and it is hoped that before long arrangements will be completed for the manufacture and distribution of the emblem.
