SAcO, June lst.. 1861.
RuTus SMALL, Agent Of Mass. Life Insurance
Company. Sir: Permit me and my lit
tie daughter Sarah to thank you, and through
you the Massachusetts Life Iasurduee Com
pday. for the prompt and honorable manner
in which they paid the amount insured ON the
life Of lny late husband.
l always felt natural repugnance to Life
Insurance, and more especially to being male
the recipient Of anything dependent upon the
loss Of dear friend. This feeling my hus-
band shared in. but the muni6eeut benefit
which might arise TO his family induced him to
accept your proposal for Insurance.
A proper consideration OF the matter, and
like reflections would induce many others to
adopt the same course. thrust this prompt and
honorable course will always be pursued By
yourself and the company you represent, thus
relieving. in some manner, the distress Of
such period. Respectfully yours,
