Willing to contribute my mitt to assist the lufferers at
Savannah, I propose to appropriate the products of the
Museum, on Wedflefday, the 4th of January next, for that
express purpose. The constant call for my daily excisi
ons, to prepare. the numerous fubjedta for the mufeurn,
has, and will for along time to come, prevent me from
giving my personal attendance on the vifiters of thi9 r«-
pofitory : But on this particular occasion, it is my inten
tion to be pfefent the whole day ; and it will give me inucb
pleasure to fee the rooms crowded from the early morn
until ten o'clock at night.
N. B. G. W. Peale during the last nine months, ha®
made uncommon exertions to enrich and improve the ■vfu*
feum, and although it is not yet what it ought,to be with
the aid of the City of Philadelphia, the proprietor as«
fures the public that it is daily progressing in ufefulneft ;
aiid the confU.nt visitor will always find fonte addition*
to elevate his mind, and call forth fentimtnts of love, won
