Loyd Garrison, while that gentleman was also in England; but by whose authority he had paid or given it, it was hard to determine.

We gave him no orders to make donations of any kind.

To take the liberty to do so, and then to charge it to our poor and suffering colony, seemed hard to bear; still we allowed the charge.
Had we, in our straitened and almost destitute circumstances, made a donation of that, to us, large sum of money to Mr.Garrison or any body else, certainly _we_ should, at least, have had the credit of it; and as Mr.Garrison had made no acknowledgment of the receipt, I wrote him on the subject, and his answer will be found, heading our correspondence, in this volume.
Not a dollar did the treasurer ever receive of the Rev.N.Paul, unless we call the donations he had made without our permission, a payment.

He did, it is true, award to the board, the sum of two hundred dollars, paid by him to Mr.Garrison, and fifty dollars more given by himself to Mr.Nell, on his departure from England.

Not a farthing could we get of him; and in short, as far as the monied interest of the colony was concerned, his mission proved an entire failure.
