Excerpt from Proceedings of the Conference of Charities: Held in Connection With the General Meeting of the American Social Science Association, at Saratoga, September, 1877
We all, I am sure, very much regret that Governor Robinson is not with us, and that we lose not only the benefit of his gen eral views on the matters we are to consider, but also those which I am led to believe he expected to present on a subject of much interest at the present time, and which we hope to hear in the future.
