Constitutional Convention,
Albany, N. Y., 18 Aug, 1867.

My dear Mrs. Gibbons,

I have your note
and the Report for which
I thank you heartily,
and I am glad to say
that Mr. Coate the
Chairman of the Prison
Committee assures me
that he should not

forgive himself if
he laid a hand upon
a society which he
so highly regards as
yours, so that I
think, and am very
glad to say, that
you are doubtlessly
perfectly safe.

I am very truly
respectfully yours
George William Curtis.
