Being unable personally to express
my gratitude to the many warm-heart-
ed citizens who. throughout the long

band were untiring in their kind atten-
tons to him. I take this method of re-
turning to them my heartfelt thanks.
The touching respect so generally and
spontaneously manifested for the men,
DRY Of himI hold 10 dear, commands
no less my lasting gratitude than the
genuine and continued sympathy eI-
tended to myself and family in our
deep affection. That each aud every
ono Of you, kind friends, may in your
hour Of trial, experience the same COM
forting consultations SO generously be-
slowed upon me md mine, Is my
earnest prayer.
