B. Horton to Frederick Douglass, August 15, 1856

For Frederick Douglass' Paper.

NEW YORK CENTRAL COLLEGE.

MR. F. DOUGLASS:—I am instructed by the
Board of Trustees of New York Central College,
to acknowledge, through the columns of
your paper, the receipt, the past winter, of a
bequest of One Thousand Dollars, for the benefit
of said College, from the late WILLIAM A.
TWEED DALE, of Albany, N. Y. This bequest
was very timely. May many others "go and
do likewise." Eighteen such gifts would clear
the College from debt. But smaller sums are
likewise very thankfully received. The Fall
term of the College will commence on the 4th
day of September next. Papers which are favorable
to the anti-slavery cause, for which this
College was more especially instituted, are respectfully
requested to copy.
