| Well, my dear brothers and friends,
l am getting along nicely and am
! treated nicely by all here at the
Home, but still have that longing for
Richmond, which l shall always call
home. for nowhere have ] had more
| true and loyal friends than in Rich
mond, for not only did my friends
exist with my fraternal brother Red
Men and Odd Fellows, but also on
the outside, and l shall never forget
the kindness shown me in my unfOr
tunate condition that l have had the
MISFORTUNE to be placed in, but the
good people of Richmond all treated
me so kindly that it was hard and
trying ordeal for me to leave my good
friends is but putting it mildly.
! must also say few words as to
the kind treatment given me at the
p. A. c. Intirmary. To Miss Elizabeth
Scott, the superintendent, / can OF
am, not able to put in words of praise
of her kind treatment to me in my
three years and y days in her care,
and also those in her employ, nurses
and all other help. Also, the ladies
board of directors and all those who
were in any way connected with the
institution
Richmond should be proud of having
such a grand and noble institution
in their midst, adj it ought to be ?
great pleasure for the good citizens
of Richmond and also of every fra
ternal order of the city and county

noble institution when in need. for
ny oear brothers. what grander work
can men do than TO tighten the bur
ders of his fellow men and to relieve |
the suffering Of those around us? In |
this particular I can say frankly an,
conscientiously, and Go say it with |
great feeling Of pride, that Floating |
Canoe Tribe of Red Men and as
brothers have done their full duty to-
ward me, in accordance with their |
obligation, but as true Red Men W.
should not let our fraternity end ir
the council OF to Red Men alone, br
also to help relieve suffering human
ty, especially, if possible, to an insti-

han / ever expected from my friends
1 real Santa Claus, with music and a
1T home, meaning Richmond. We had II
number of visitors, Odd Fellows and II
heir families, and had such an en-
oyable time.
In conclusion I will say that am
rying to become reconciled to nv

Richmond, l never shall nor can. We
lave all a person needs, are treated
,indly by the superintendent and ma
