LECTURE AT TREMONT TEMPLE. 73 



filment of my purpose I donated the entire proceeds to 

 the Relief Fnnd of Posts 7 and 15, as I was largely- 

 indebted to the comrades of these organizations for 

 the hearty co-operation which insured a full house 

 at Tremont Temple. The letter below was addressed 

 to the Assistant Adjutant-General of the Department.

 destitute wards of the "Grand Army." Gratefully acknowledging
