Report for The Temporary Home for the Destitute 1875
Boston: Press of W. L. Deland 1876. Pamphlet. First Edition. 19 pages (plus first and last leaves blank). 12 mo. Original light green printed wrappers. Minor wear and soiling to the covers. Contains the annual report for 1875. Reviews officers, a highly abbreviated summary of the group based on earlier reports, and in the rear are the subscribers and donors, by name. Interestingly, each donor is listed with their specific contribution: 'a complete outfit for a Child two years old', or 'A bushel of pears', or 'A bundle of useful clothing', etc. Perhaps an attempt to use social pressures to entice more contributions? The focus of the donations appears to be children. Very Good. [Book #19662] |
