Potts.] 126 [April 19, 



"I had learned a great deal from him of the thrilling events which 

 took place during his holding the Consular office in England, and I also 

 had opportunities for testing the value and extent of the information he 

 possessed of economic and business questions. His death was a severe 

 blow to me, and unexpectedly severed the ties which had bound us 

 together for nearly twenty years. 



"He spent a morning with me and my family a few days before his 

 death, and we were all wonderfully impressed with his kindly manners 

 and the interest which he gave on that occasion to our Sunday morning 

 gathering. 



" This made for him with us a glorious sunset for such a life, and I am 

 truly thankful that I was permitted to have such a friend. 



"Sincerely yours, 



"Frederick Fraley. 

 "Wm. John Potts, Esq., 

 Camden, N. J."
