Dear Madam,--By appointment of Leeds Lodge No. 179 A.O.U.W., we beg to tender you on behalf of the members of our lodge their heartfelt sympathy in the recent sudden death of our beloved brother and your do. voted husband. We would deplore our mutual loss, in our case a worthy brother, faithful in all his duties, and as we know a husband and father who was untiriug in seeking the welfare of his loved ones. Human sympathy can do but little. but as a band of brothers whose duty it is to care for the widow and orphan, we extend our aid, first, by esenting you with the enclosed choc {or two thousand dollars, and, next, by ofler~ ing at all times to give you such asâ€" sistance and counsel as may be in our power and which you are free to com. mand. Above all, we commend you to the care of the Divine Father who has’promieed to be a husband to the widow and a stay tothe tatharleas. With warmest wishes for your fu- ture woke, we remain in the bonds of Charity, Hope and Protection. (Sgd.) Junta Comm, P. F. Crow, } Con. A. H. Hob-All.
