DEAR Menu,—On behalf of the-olfioers

and heartfelt sympathy in the affliction

pleased Almighty God in His divine
wisdom to call him home from his sphere
of usefulness here, doubtless reusing
many a heartache to his loved one, yet
WG must humbly submit to the will of
Him that death all things well, believing
that He who bath promised to be the
widow's friend and a father to the father -
lose will still proteot and comfort you in
this your hour of trial. Again assuring
you of our sincere regards, we remain
very respectfully your friends. Signed
