Anna M. Farquhar reported that the Lyceum
is anxious to have a small balance on hand at the
Annual Mtg., and to raise funds, a supper and entertainment
will be given on the 29th, inst.

Louisa T. Brooke requested a little more time to
prepare a memorial of our deceased member Anna G. Lea,
which was granted.

Albina O. Stabler made selections from an interesting
sketch of Bagdad by two Americans, who went
from San Francisco 17000 miles, to this ancient city,
that has not changed in some respects for 1000 yrs.

The Sec’y offered a circular letter she had rec’d

to unite with other neutral countries and
offer to act as mediators between those who are at war.
While the matter was apparently endorsed we trust

to try Sharp St. School, or if this fail, a man by
