hour Saturday morning.
You will understand that his death, by
reason of my relations with Mr.. Dimmick
and his family for years. is the cause OF
an inexpressible sorrow to me, rendering
me incapab and unfit for participating
in any public manifestation of regret. |
therefore beg of you to say as much for
me to the friends assembled on this Oc-
casion. Independent of my relations to his
family. he was a friend and business as
sociate for many years. A man of strict
honor, imbued with the highest principles,
he was an unselish and noble friend.
Very sincerely yours.
Charles du" Pont Breck.
