Owing to the widespread desire to express in some appropriate manner the public appreciation of Roger Wolcott and to perpetuate his memory, a movement has been started to raise a fund by public subscription for the erection of a statue or some other memorial. This memorial would be placed at or in the State House, or in some other public place in Boston.

All who are interested are asked to join in paying this last tribute t their friend and governor. The names of all who contribute will be preserved. Any sum of money, however small, will be acknowledged promptly. The name and address of each subscriber should be written with great care for use in the certificate of subscription, and if on receipt of the certificate an error should appear, a new certificate will be issued on notice to the treasurer.

All subscriptions should be sent to Henry. Higginson, Treasurer, 19 Milk street, Boston.
