Provenance
Acquired by Pierpont Morgan before 1901, possibly from the estate of Bishop William Stevens Perry of Iowa.
Summary
Asking Morgan to consider him "in the distribution of [his] gifts this year" because he needs to make a final payment of $5000 on a church building that he purchased for $16,000; explaining that he felt bound to purchase the church because the old building "would not comfortably contain the communicants."
