Always sincerely yours,

Willard Glazier.

Kalamazoo, Michigan,
_August 19th, 1876_.

Received of Captain Willard Glazier the net proceeds of his lecture
at this place, which sum is to be applied to the fund for the
erection of a monument to the memory of the late General Custer, at
Monroe City, Michigan.

We take great pleasure in speaking of Captain Glazier in the
highest terms, not only on account of the self-devotion he has
manifested in a noble cause, but of his indomitable perseverance
and energy. We trust he will, wherever he goes, receive the
unanimous support of the citizens whom he addresses.

F. W. Curtenius,
Late Colonel U. S. Volunteers.

to public confidence and support, Captain Willard Glazier, in his
efforts in behalf of the Custer Monument Association.

R. F. Judson,
Late aide to General Custer.

Captain Glazier's talents as a speaker. Possessing a fine
imagination, good descriptive powers, and the real qualities of an
orator, he could not fail to please the really intelligent audience
which greeted him last evening. Probably one hour and a half were
