TO FRIENDS TELLING
OF WIFE'S DEATH

w. L. Bates is in receipt of a
letter from J. T. Hathaway, who
was just little over a year ago
transferred from the Customs
Service in Key West to Pensa-
cola, in which is chronicled the
death of Mrs. Hathaway.
Mr.. Hathaway writes in con-
nection with the death of Mrs.
Hathaway, that her passing was
sudden, heart failure being the
cause. "She had been sick ever
since coming up here, in the hos
pital large part of the time in
care of a heart specialist, Mr..
Hathaway writes.
'She loved the home on South
street, the flowers and her many
Key West friends, and since she
has been sick and unable to get
around very well, talked about
them all so much.
The wish is expressed by Mr..
Hathaway that he would have
been able to bring Mrs. Hath
away to Key West for a visit, and
stay a while but she was not
strong enough to stand the trip.
Expressing the hope that he
will be able to visit in the city as
soon as he can make it possible,
the writer concludes with the
wish for a Merry Christmas for
Mr.. and Mrs. Bates and all friends
in Key West.
