T h e sad news of your beloved hus­

reached me but a few days before the 
blessed C hr is tm a s 
It has

mine, whilst I think how sad is your 
affliction, yet thanks be to God! how 
peaceful was the dear fellow’s depart­
ure. Many, many re m em b ranc es s t ir 
me of the dear friend ’s affection— of 
his c heerful, fervent nature— of hours, 
long-ago, 
bright with the c hoicest comrades hip. 
Indeed, we did 
love one ano the r as 
loyal men do— and now my friend has 
s u rpas s ing 
scenes. How 
lef t 
gr eat then mus t be your loss— the loss 
of the hus band! B ut the c hoi ce m em ­
ory of all he was to you, and of how'

served so ably and e a r nes tl y : ah, thes e

s t o w e r . At this season, may 
I ask 
from the Giver of best gifts, th at He 
enri ch you, and tha t you may have in 
the years to come abiding happiness 
though the beloved husband has left 
you for a time. As the loving f riend 
of that c hoice gentleman, I r em ai n one
