They are in very pressing circumstances and their neighbors in the upper edge of the Second district need help in the way of money to give them the attention deserved. Mr. W.W. Arnold has interested himself in their behalf and any contribution entrusted to him will be put in the right place. (Transcribed 10/14/02 Lynn Cunningham) Note: Larkin Pitts was a son of Martin M.
