Correspondence from Amos Townsend acknowledging Lewis Tappan's letter, which included ten dollars. Townsend writes that he has seen Benjamin Griswold, who "cannot go without considerable sacrifice, as in addition to his Theological Lectures he is attending a course of Medical Lectures, which to those who anticipate a Foreign Mission are given gratuitously." He then asks for Tappan's opinion of the course Griswold could pursue should he consent to go.
