Title:
Letter from Robert Folger Wallcut, Boston, [Massachusetts], to Samuel May, 1850 Aug[ust] 27
Description:
Robert Folger Wallcut writes to Samuel May discussing payments he has made (probably for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society). He says that "Mr. Nell posted the placards for the Worcester meeting" and he did not pay him. He then remembers paying "the Pathfinder's Bill." Wallcut explains that Joshua T. Everett paid him $5 "which he said was collected in the Evening at Worcester" and he used the amount to pay the Pathfinder's bill, with the rest given "to Nell who undertook to reach it to Mr. [Francis] Jackson." He also tells May that Charles L. Remond gave him $1 from "Mr. David Meritt of Salem" but since he "could not say what it was for," Wallcut credited it to his Liberator account. He then found a letter from Merritt asking him "to transfer the dollar to the funds collected at Worcester. He intended it towards defraying expenses of the meeting."
