Receipt of Money for the Missouri and Kansas Tent.

By J. A. Rogers; J. H. Mallory

As THOSE who have paid on the tent would like to know whether their money has been received, we will report $164.75 paid up to the present date, Oct. 10, as follows:—J. M. Gallemore, $20.00, Wm. Evans, 25.00, H. Winters, 10.00, D. Brackett, 5.00, F. M. Davis, 5.00, C. R. Rice, 5.00, and 5.00 reported sent to Bro. White, D. Hildreth, 10.00, S. A. Ledsworth, 1.00, J. C. Rowland, 5.00, S. A. Snyder, 1.25, James Collins, 2.50, Samuel Leach, reported to have sent 1.00, not received, A. Hamilton and wife, 5.00, Jacob Yates and wife, 5.00, H. H. Elder, 5.00, S. E. Elder, 5.00, Wm. S. Lewis, 1.00, J. H. Lewis, 1.00, Frederick Rosseau, 5.00, J. F. Klostermyer, 3.00, B. F. and Harriet Hicks, 1.00, J. H. Cook, 5.00, Amos Vansyoc, 5.00, L. H. Hunting and son, 5.00, M. W. Kornes, 5.00, Bro. Rathbun, 2.00.

Of the amount pledged, there is $231.50 unpaid, making in all $396.25. Of course some of this we hardly expect to get, as is usually the case.

We have about enough to buy a tent, but let us act on Bro. Cook's suggestion and raise all we can, for we shall need it as a tent fund to carry forward the enterprise. It is true there is but little in the treasury; but if we all try, we shall have a tent and means to support it.

As we design buying between this and spring, let all remember who have not paid to raise their pledges in due time. It was thought best to let the large tent Bro. White sent us pass from our hands, as we could not raise the money this season to pay for it, and buy one not so large at less cost; for we can order one without stakes, irons, &c., and appropriate those of the old Iowa tent (as they donated them to us). By so doing we shall save some expense. We think that about a fifty-two feet tent is large enough for us.
