...ought to be unnecessary to have to send collectors around to the delinquents, but even that torture may have to be resorted to unless something radical occurs. We have to get that missing $4,000 in to Phillips Brooks House immediately, or at least let them know why we have not paid. We do not want to get the "scrap of paper" attitude toward pledges.
