Troy, N. Y., Dec. 31, 1880.}
Dear Mr. Hubbard: I remember your showing us the place where you put our contributions, in the great safe on Reade St., and your deciding where you met Aunty Lizzie before.
I will send a share of the money which we earned, for the American Missionary Association.
This Summer I devoted one of my broods to your society. The hen’s name was Nano: she had eight chickens. Two of them died, four were given to Papa for the hen’s feed, and the rest were sold for fifty-three cents.
This was this hen’s second brood.
Margaret had also a hen named Goldy, and her second brood was devoted to your society. She stole her nest in the bushes and hatched thirteen little, beautiful chickens;—five died, two are kept, and the three remaining ones were sold for eighty-eight cents. We earned money in other ways, so we each add the necessary sum to make it two dollars.
I send much love to you, and Miss Dodge. Your Loving Little Friend,
Mary F. Cushman.
