DEAR SIR:
Being recommended to us as a suitable agent to collect funds for the NATIONAL LINCOLN MONUMENT ASSOCIATIOIN, we take pleasure in handing you the inclosed commission as such agent.
We are convinced that a thorough and active canvass or your County will result in a handsome contribution to the funds of the association. In order that every contributor may receive the proper credit, we suggest that you keep a list of the names and residences of all contributing, with the amounts paid by each, and, at the close of your operations, forward the same to the Secretary of the Association for preservation and future reference.
Please report to the Secretary, (Hon. O. M. Hatch,) on the first of every month, the gross amount of your collections and remittances from the receipt of your appointment to that time, the amounts for the month preceding, the amount retained by you as commissions, and the amount in your hands due the Association.
Please remit to the Treasurer, (Hon. J. H. Beveridge,) by express or draft, as most convenient, as often as you may have sufficient funds to justify a remittance.
You will retain a commission of ten per cent. on all sums received by you.
Whenever you desire to relinquish your agency, please return your commission and list of contributors, with a statement of account, to the Secretary of the Association, and remit any balance then in your hands to the Treasurer.
Should you desire further instructions or information, address us, or the Secretary.
With hopes of a good result from your exertions, we remain,
YOUS RESPECTFULLY,
JESSE K. DUBOIS,
SHARON TYNDALE,
O. H. MINER.
JAS. H. BEVERIDGE,
Committee.
