nce with the conversation which I had with your representative, Mr. Moses W. Mann, a few days ago, I enclose herewith a little gift to the city of Medford from the Misses Tompkins, of 84 Hixon Place, South Orange, New Jersey.

To such as really wish an answer to their query, Who was Stearns? we suggest the reading of his biography, which may be found in the Usher History of Medford. The little token sent by the New Jersey lady will, with her letters and the missive of our city clerk, be duly displayed in the Historical Rooms. It shows an
