Excerpt from William Pryor Letchworth

AS I was coming down Main street, in Buffalo, one morning in the early part of 1874, I met Mr. Joseph Warren, editor of the Buffalo C ourier, who had just left the train after a night's ride from Albany. He informed me that action had been taken in the Senate the day before to abolish the State Board of Charities. I asked him upon what grounds. He could not tell me, but Supposed it was in consequence Of some irregularities. I told him that this was not possible, in view of the personnel of the Board and lack of opportunity on the part of the commissioners for deriving any personal advantage from their office. He had given little attention to the matter, but, as he then recalled what he had heard, there was some whispered scandal con nected with the movement.
