IN TIMES OF TROUBLE 107 



KIND FRIENDS : 



It is indeed with heartfelt gratitude that we 

 write our thanks for your kindness to us, for the 

 food and clothing and the money to pay the doc- 

 tor, who gave the help that Mrs. Weldon stood so

 and as the warmer weather approaches, the doctor 

 thinks she will get well. 



The box from Boston arrived safely and another

 G. M. and MRS. K. W. WELDON.
