BosToN, Oct Is, 1899
My dear Miss Hall; A dreadful calamity
has been visited upon your village and all
hearts will 60 out in sympathy to your
stricken community. AS the last repre-
sentative of the family of Colonel Hubbard
has persisted in the flames before the eyes of
her neighbors and friends, powerless to res
cue her, the whole community stands to rep
resent the family in this sad and terrible
catastrophe
Words are powerless and sympathy weak
in the face of such a calamity, but such as
they are l would tender them to the whole
community in which Miss Mary Hubbard
has resided and with whom she has mil gled
her entire life.
| understand the funeral takes place on
Friday and as it will be impossible for Inc to
attend, would feel deeply the favor if you
would order for our family some fitting
floral tribute for the sad occasion and which
it would please me to leave entirely to your
judgment
Thanking you in advance 1 remain in sin
ceTest sympathy,
FITZROY KELLY.
