Dear Sir-We desire to express to
you and to the teachers, through you,
our sincere thanks for the kindly ex-
preston, also for the beautiful floral
tributes which accompanied the re-
mains of our Ida; also for the beau
tiful flowers purchased by the money
telegraphed. We have had photographs
taken of the room, showing the ar
rangement of flowers, and, if the pic
lures prove satisfactory, copies will be
sent to you: and we hope that all the
teachers will be given an opportunity
to see them. The blow was so sudden
that We have not sufficiently recovered
to express ourselves as fully as we
would like.
Believe this, however, that the
teachers and many friends of our Ida.
in Salt Lake City will always be re-
membered by the family. We appre-
ciate fully every thing that was done,
but lack words to express our feelings,
yours very truly,
MARY p. WHEELER,
