Edward Everett to Ann Pamela Cunningham, 1858 November 20

A.L.S. Boston. "My dearest little Pam," declares London Illustrated News article well intentioned but in poor taste. Reviews how idea of repeating GW oration grew - if any credit to be given, it belongs to Regent. Suggests paying J.A. Washington installments month early if they can save month's interest, $285. Hopes interests was only to be paid on first installment to J.A.W. Feels growing interest in N.Y. Ledger articles. Comments on D.P. Brown's idea re payments only $54,000 cash here - and 10% interest bonds, par value $14,000 but now rather low in market. Sees no objection to paying J.A.W. first installment on Dec. 5 or entire payment, if Mr. Riggs agrees. ER-9, p. 209
