Letter from William Crapo Regarding the Alabama Award

New Bedford, Mar 15 1877-
Rev. Allen Gannett
Edgartown-
Dear Sir-

Mr. Bower has handed to me the power of Attorny for the collection of the draft for the Catchings of the "Ocmulgee". The first trouble seems to consist jin the procuring authority to obtain the money, and the second trouble is what to do with the money when obtained. I do not propose to draw the money from the Acct. until all parties have agreed to its disposition Enclosed you will find an agreement Which I understand meets the approval of all. A duplicate has been sent to Mr. Osborn for himself, Mr.Monroe, Mr. Coffin, and Mr. Warren to sign. I wish Mrs. Gannett, Mrrs. Worth, Mr Bradley, Mr. Kelly [etc?] To sign this and send it to Mr. Bonner to be held by him until Mr. Osborn produces the duplicate with the signatures thereto.
Yours truly, Wm. W. Crapo
