MEMPHREMAGoG House, NEWPORT. VII
Sept. lst, 1888
Inc undersigned, members of the RAYMOND
Excursion Party, leaving Boston August 2lst.
dtsirious OF expressing our appreciation of the
Kindness and medical skill of our travelling
companion, DIR. w. Scott Hill, by who.e
timely aid and attention we were relieved
from serious sickness on the journey, do here
oy cordially unite in extending to him our
earnest, heartfelt thanks. We feel that Ian
guage Is inadequate to the expression of our
gratitude. Never has it fallen to our fortune
to record more fully an illustration of the
aphorism that "a friend in need is a friend
indeed" Unable to prevail upon Dr. Hill to
accept at our hands any pecuniary reward for
MS admirable services, we hope at no distant
day to present in some acceptable form a
token more substantial than mere words of
our appreciation Of his merit:
A. A. Putnam and wife j. H. Kendall and
wife, c. Stickney. J. G Trask and wife
NJ c. Dyer, w Fred NewhalI, Miss J. w.
Smith, Miss +. F. Rich, Mrs. Edwin Wood
and others.
In accordance with the latter part of the
foregoing resolution DIR. Hill has Just been
the recipient Of nine elegant views of Wat
kin's Glen, n. Y, one of the points visited
by the excursion. Accompanying the views
was the following letter which explains itself
