Excerpt: ...to obtain subscriptions, but a city pastor has subscribed.$150 A sister of the First Baptist Church.100 Bro. Jonathan Batchelor, of Lynn, Mass.100 ------ Making in all, a total of.$8,400 The entire cost of the building, notwithstanding the most rigid economy, will be over eighteen thousand dollars, and full half of this amount is yet unprovided for. The bills are not all presented, but some of the larger ones which have been settled by notes will be due in a short time; while the largest one, the lumber bill, has six months to run yet, so that I am bound to settle up and pay the entire balance of expenditure on this house, as agent of the Church, within the coming six months.

The failing health of my dear brother, J. C. Crane, A and the want of his invaluable co-operation with me, as well as the lack of hearty, zealous assistance on the part of many other brethren and friends, has been painful to me. But I hope, now that the house is finished, the friends of our Redeemer's cause and of the African race generally, may not fail in lending their efficient aid. I have...
