LONDON, February 21.-That Graham
Gilmour. the airman, who was killed at
Richmond last Saturday, was prepared

ter which he wrote last May and gave to
a friend, with instructions that it should

quested that at the funeral there should
be no bell tolled and no moaning made.
The letter reads:

which is extremely probable, / do not
wish my body taken to the grave by an
ordinary funeral hearse, which is a hid
eous thing, or by a train. 1t is to go by

farm cart. There must be no moaning of
any kind, and have some colored flowers.
If any are used. Mind, no moaning. !
wish everything to be merry and bright.
