To People of Arlington.

Not knowing all and not being able
to write all interested take this way
of expressing my great appreciation
to my many friends who so generous
ly contributed to the fund which was
enclosed to me Feb. 9TH.
My sympathy has always gone out
to the people of Arlington for all they
have endured and rather expected
they would enjoy this absence that
has been allotted to me. Z is indeed,
great consolation to know | have
so many friends who are so interest
ed in my health, to say nothing of
their generosity.
Again thanking one and all wish
to remain.
Sincerely yours,
Lewis Kelley.
