FREEMANS JOURNAL, 17-SEP-1844 REPEAL-DETROIT
  
To Daniel O'Donnell, Esq. M.P.

Sir--The Detroit repealers beg leave respectfully to 
accompany their address by a mite of contribution towards 
the fine imposed on you, and solicit the favour of being 
allowed to participate in its payment. They would remit more 
largely, but are aware that others will also claim a like 
privilege. I am directed therefore to send you £20, and to 
solicit your acceptance of it towards the above object. We 
lately send 100/., to the Repeal Association, and within the 
past year another sum of 55/. Should there be any objection 
to our present request on your part or otherwise, we beg of 
you to apply it at your own discretion.

I have the honour, Sir, to be your humble servant.
