The St. Louis Fair Fund

Mrs. Eddy would have Trebled her Generous Contribution.

Concord (N. H.) Monitor

The following letter to the editor of the Monitor is indicative of the feeling of one of New Hampshire's most noted, generous, and public-spirited natives, and is indicative also of the feeling of many others who were interested in securing a suitable New Hampshire exhibit at the St. Louis World's Fair:—

Pleasant View, Concord, N. H., March 7, 1904.

Dear Mr. Moses:— The report that the effort to raise $15,000 for the St. Louis exposition is abandoned, saddens me. It is the mistake of century. People in the highest ranks of office, professions, and society I have interested in Concord by simply telling them that New Hampshire received the premium on schools from the World's Fair in Chicago.

In the United States the Southrons are courteous, kind, noble. Their honor is their standard, and they never drop it. We of the North should appreciate this, and return friendship for friendship.

I offered $1,000 towards raising the requisite sum for New Hampshire's representation at the St. Louis exposition and I would have three-folded that money sooner than have failed to obtain the sum required.

Mary B. G. Eddy.
Concord (N. H.) Monitor.
