In the few short years you have laboured in the commun- ity your pleasant disposition and outstanding ability left an indelible impression on our cit- izens. Your vows of fidelity to the cause to which you so nobly de- dicated yourself have been ex- emplified in every conceivable manner. Time and distance were no barrier to the services you gave to the ill and distress- ed. You gave of your great store of wisdom to those of ten- der years, to those in the noon- day and likewise to those in the evening of Iife, comfort and kindness combined with your skill and medieine contained great healing power, Your departure will create a void, which will be hard to fill and impossible to erase from the memories of your loyal and devoted friends. As an expression of our high esteem for you and Mrs. Klah- sen, we ask you to accept this gift as a token of goodwill and may success and good fortune accompany you in your r.ew field of labour. Sincerely yours, Members of The Zurich and District Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Kalhsen very fittingly thanked the Chamber of Com- merce for all the help they had extended him during his stay in Zurich.
