Wigham asks if J. S. Buckingham's "Invocation" will arrive in time for the Liberty Bell. The list of contributions from Sarah and B. Hilditch is enclosed; they send a Welsh doll for Frederick Douglass. The amount of goods this year is short of last year, most of the contributors having worked for local bazaars.
