- catalog abstract "This collection contains handwritten orders of payment and receipts issued by the leaders of the Boston First Church of Christ to the Penn estate-holder Penn Townsend, and later, to the Sale Family. The payment orders were issued by the Church leaders, and instructed the recipient to pay the scholarship sum to the designated Harvard student (or his guardian). Within the collection, there are also six receipts signed by scholarship beneficiaries acknowledging the payment, and an 1819 letter from William Emerson (son of the Reverend William Emerson, and brother of Ralph Waldo Emerson) requesting payment by John Sale. Though Penn's will stipulated that the scholarship beneficiaries should be Harvard students, the selection of recipients and the fund disbursement occurred independently of the College.".

- catalog description "James Penn (d. 1671), a ruling elder of Boston's First Church of Christ from 1650 to 1671, bequeathed an annual scholarship for Harvard students that was distributed by the leaders of the Boston First Church of Christ from the early 1700s until 1866. In his will, dated September 29, 1671, Penn bequeathed his farm at Pullen Point, which is now part of North Chelsea and Winthrop, Mass., to his nephew Colonel Penn Townsend with the stipulation that the estate pay ten pounds annually to a poor Harvard College student selected by the First Church leaders. Col. Townsend paid the scholarship until his death in 1727, when the estate was bequeathed to his two daughters Sarah Thayer and Ann Sale; Ann's husband John Sale continued the payments. The Church leaders continued to select annual recipients until April 1866, when the First Church released the Sale Family from the bequest for $600. The Massachusetts General Court authorized the transfer with a special resolve on April 12, 1866.".
