Provenance
Acquired by Pierpont Morgan before 1901, possibly from the estate of Bishop William Stevens Perry of Iowa.
Summary
Asking if he knows anything about a Fund that was established to benefit the Missions in Africa of which Bishop Stevens was a Trustee; saying that since the death of Bishop Stevens and the death of Rev. Dr. Durkin, another Trustee, there seems to be no record of who the donor was and "...no one is authorized to apply to the Courts and no one has any Standing in the Matter;" trusting that he has recovered from his fall.
