Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A True History of the Acquisition of Washington´s Headquarters: At Newburgh, by the State of New York Miss Dr. Julia E. Bradner, President of the Old Ladies´ Society of Orange County, New York: I have written a true account of how that (which in the past, and is in the present, as it will ever be in the future) well-known and historic spot, Washington´s Headquarters, located at Newburgh, in this county, came to pass from private ownership into the possession of the State of New York. This account has been copyrighted and will first appear in the Middletown Daily Press, as well as in the semi-weekly edition - The Orange County Press. It will also be printed in Pamphlet form. The latter are to be sold. In casting about for a local county object as a beneficiary for the resultant pecuniary benefits (if any) from the sale of these pamphlets, I don´t know of any which commends itself more to my sympathies, as well as to my best judgment, than does the beneficent object you have undertaken to accomplish, which in the article of incorporation you state to be the "making a comfortable home in Orange County for aged and infirm and destitute ladies of said county, wherein the sick and enfeebled may receive all requisite care and attention in sickness and health, and be provided a respectable burial at death." In the furtherance of this truly commendable object I hereby offer you all the proceeds which there may be from the sale of these pamphlets, after deducting the cost of their publication and any attendant expenses of such sale. Very respectfully your well-wisher in the work you have undertaken, Richard Caldwell. Salisbury Mills, N. Y., January 18th, 1887. To Mr. R. Caldwell: Dear Sir: - In behalf of the cause which we have so much at heart, I thank you for your kind offer of the proceeds of sale of the Headquarters article, hoping we may realize something in aid of an object so dear to us. Respectfully yours, Julia E. Bradner, President Orange County Home Society. Middletown, January 20th, 1887.
