For the first time since his sudden and
alarming illness early in July last, Mr.. Thomas
D. Messler, Vice President and Controller of
the Pennsylvania Company, resumed yesterday
his official duties and responsibilities. He was
much benefited by his sojourn at Cresson dur
ing August and September, and shortly after
his return he was taken East to visit relatives
in New Jersey, and at Poughkeepsie on the
Hudson river, where, in the quiet and intimacy
of their society, and the change OF scene and
air, he continued rapidly to improve so that
now he feels his health to be fully restored. He
will, however, as matter OF precaution, only
spend q few hours each day at his Office, until he
has become accustomed again to the exactions
of business Sincere congratulations will be
extended to HIM by his many friends, upon his
recovery from what at first seemed hopeless
illness.
