          & others were appointed a Committee
 to carry into effect this benevolent work.
 I believe a large amount of money has
 been raised. The Com. in the explorations 
 called upon Mrs. Fitzpatrick 
 but she thanked them kindly & told
 them her wants for the present were [crossed out: are]
 all supplied. She has plenty of 
 sewing now, but she scarcely earns 
 a subsistence by her needle. I have
 been buying her some coal recently
 but if this weather continues long she
 will soon need more. I bought this
 coal however with her own money -- she
 will accept no pecuniary help from 
 me whatever. It is only through Mrs.
 Annie Cattell that we can supply her
 wants. I rarely fail to see her once
 every two days. She seems quite happy 
 now -- good health & spirits of course
