Hebron, Maine.
Dear Mr.. Sargent:-I assure you that
it is with great pleasure that | enclose
you check for $4,000 towards the
erection of boys dormitory for Hebron
Academy. 1t comes from the estate of
Mellen Bray. he was born in Turner
and, / think, was a cousin of Mrs.
Percival Bonney. His brother Madison
went to Hebron Academy when 1 did.
He died year ago leaving will which
authorized the executors or trustees OF
his estate to give certain amounts to
charity. Two of them, Mellen N. Bray
and William C. Bray, are his sons and
relatives of mine, as their mother is my
cousin. | put the case Of Hebron
Academy before them and I think they
have responded very generously and that
YOU and the trustees of the academy and
all its friends will much appreciate this
gift.
Very truly yours,
