Gibbons writes to Maria Weston Chapman in regards to receiving a letter from Jacob Ferris with the information that $50, pledged at Cadiz, Ohio, had been paid to the American Society and the request that it be charged to Ferris's account, the writer has this scruple: "This would be in contravention of the specific understanding that the Western mission should be dependent on donations received as the fruit of its own exertions."
