An anonymous letter labeled by Lewis Tappan as being "from some miserable wretch"; seemingly a letter of donation, however, the writer's tone is unclear. The letter reads: My Deer Feller, Havin sean a notic in the Journil of Kommerce that you reeceeveed doneashins for our kullered bretherin of the Amistid I take this opportuneitee to cend a smal donashun to help fead & cloath the pore fellers.
