To Reverend James Muir
Philadelphia, 24 February 1794
Sir,
I have received your letter of the 12th inst:, and will direct my manager Mr. Pearce to pay my annual donation for the education of Orphan Children, or the children of indigent parents, who are unable to be at the expence themselves.
I had pleasure in appropriating this money to such uses, as I always shall in that of paying it. I confess, however, I should derive satisfaction from knowing what children have heretofore received the benefit of it, and who now are in the enjoyment thereof.
Never, since the commencement of this institution, have I received the least information (except in a single instance, on this head); although application for it to individuals has been frequently made. As you, Sir, appear to be in the exercise of this trust, let me pray you to have the goodness to gratify this wish of mine. With respect, I am Reverend Sir Your most Obedt Servt
