Arthur Tuteur, who is making good as an attorney and insurance man at New Albany, sends $1 and writes: “If there’s anything for Rensselaer, I’m for it, Sorry I can’t make the check larger. Hope to see the unveiling.” Mr. and Mrs. Delos Coen, of Chicago, send sl. E. J. Hurley sends $2 from Spokane, Wash., where he moved with his family from Jasper county five years ago. He writes that he has no intention of ever making this county his home again, but that himself and family have many friends here. They send their warmest regards to the old soldiers now living and state that they are glad to help in the erection of the, monument. He continues: “My father was Jacob Hurley. He enlisted in the 9th Indiana 21 months before the close of the war and served to the close. He now lives near Rossville, Clinton county, and is 76 years of age. I will be pleased to know that his name has a place on the monument. We have had a fine spring here in the Spokane valley and Everything points to a prosperous year. Prospects for fruit were never better and small grain is in an excellent condition.” A. W. Cleveland, of Bedford, Ohio, also contributes sl, sending it through C. G. Spitler.
