-To J. Daly (Stephens) from William Moran-June 28, 1864

28 June 1864, 126 Collins st, Saint Louis, Mo. Acknowledges letter of June 22, on receipt of which he ordered the Treasurer 'to forward all the money on hand, which will amount to ten or eleven hundred dollars'; a large sum still outstanding will be paid in at the meeting of the Circle on following Thursday and will be forwarded on the Friday. The money would have been sent earlier but 'we got up a picknic which came off last Sunday, and had to use the funds for to make it what it was, the greatest success that was ever got up in this State.' The men of St Louis may be relied on to do their duty. Circle is about 150 strong 'and the cry is still they come'; the members highly delighted 'at the success which has attended you throughout this country.' Sends best wishes 'for you and all true men engaged in this good work.'

'P.S. You will please instruct me when and where to forward what arms I have collected. W.M.'
