^ A "Letter Received From Dr. Elizabeth....
2 , 500 dollars , i . e . £ 500 , is the price of endowment—it would be : a very useful tiling , for there is a very large number of poor
English women constantly coming to New York , who have seen better days , and find it a terrible blow to be sent to the great
pauper hospitals which are under wretched 'political' management . The Infirmary is so solidly founded now , that a bed may be
endowed with perfect security , and I am trying to get the antislavery people to endow a colored bed . The endowment of two
or three beds would be a most valuable help to us just now ; it strikes me that it might be a practical point that would interest
English friends . " To this extract we subjoin the circular forwarded to us
concerning the annual Fair , stating that Mrs . Bodichon , of 5 , Blandford ; Square , London , N . W ., will send a box to Dr . E . Blackwell , and
will "be happy to receive contributions until the 15 th of October . CIRCULAR .
