It is then that I sometimes make complaint of cruelties which fall under my own observation in the public streets; and then must be made in person; but in so acting, I but perform a painful duty, such as every other citizen is required by law to do.

I am making and shall continue to make great personal sacrifice, in order to protect the poor brute from needless cruelty, and I respectfully ask a generous [press?] and public to aid this Society in carrying out its merciful purposes.

Criticism, mingled with a little intelligence, will never be objected to by this Society; on the Contrary, is invites the Counsel [underlined], as well as support of the public.

Nor can it expect to escape individual or sectional rebuke, when those excellent associations for the protection of the citizens of this metropolis from the horrors of pestilence: and the degrading consequences of intoxication are reprobated.

I have the honor to be, dear sir

Your Obt sevt.
Henry Bergh.
