The key to the safe n which we kept our securities
was locked inside OF our dre-proof book safe, the

they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
IT. Fortunately we had one OF your Burglar-PrOof

deposited. This they went to work at with will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts to force it. The night dark and stormy,
and the fact OF their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body Of the Chest and
the faithful safe bears evidence OF the labor and skill
devoted TO the work. All useless and it is with
great satisfaction report that upon opening it we
found securities all Saf and therefore cheer

You VIII please send the new safe purchased by us
