Show Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Alaska Division, <br> Washington, D. C., February 23, 1901. <br><br> Rev. R. G. McNiece, <br> #1248 Blaine Avenue, <br> Salt Lake City, Utah. <br><br> My dear Doctor McNiece: <br> I send you the copy of another letter received from Erie Presbytery, showing in part, their plans. I think that ultimately they will raise us money for the building, but I doubt whether they will secure it early enough to build this coming summer with only four or five thousand out of the twenty-seven thousand additional needed from Titusville. I think it will be a long process as they are evidently looking for a canvass of the Presbytery, and many small amounts. I had hoped that Mr. Emerson would give $10,000.00 instead of a possible $2,000.00 Still it is encouraging to see their interest. <br> I think however we are making progress and can take courage. <br> Very truly yours, <br> Sheldon Jackson* <br> General Agent of Education in Alaska. <br><br><br> *Italicized words are handwritten in the original document. <br><br> |
