For obvious reasons, it was further agreed that no individual subscription should exceed the sum of three dollars. </p> <p>The undersigned, having been subsequently appointed to collect the funds necessary for this purpose, take the liberty of requesting a contribution at your hands. A deep sense of the services of the late <name key="pn0000268" reg="Caldwell, Joseph" type="person" rend="yes">PRESIDENT</name> is so universally entertained, that it would be idle to enter upon their detail at this time; nor is it thought necessary to say, that the Monument in contemplation is meant rather as an expression of filial regard, than a return proportioned to the marked public benefits which it was the well-regulated, earnest endeavor and signal good fortune of his life to confer. </p> <p>The <name key="x" reg="x" type="organization" rend="">Society</name> wishes to effect its purpose as soon as may be possible. Nearly a fourth of the sum required has already been collected, and we hope to make an early acknowledgement of your cheerful tribute towards a design so well suggested, and thus far carried out with fair prospects of speedy success. </p> <closer> <signed><name key="pn0001357" reg="Phillips, Charles" type="person">CHARLES PHILLIPS</name>,</signed> <signed> <name key="pn0000201" reg="Brown, Ashbel Green" type="person" rend="yes">A.
