HON. MARSHALL P. WILDER. 109 



rounded, so full of usefulness and earnest desire to 

 impart beauty, luxury, and joy equally to the hum- 

 ble cot and the proud palace, can no more die than 

 beauty or music. The brightness of its memory may 

 fade, but it will be deathless. 



So long as orchards are planted, gardens culti- 

 vated, and flowers associated with all our joys and 

 all our sorrows, so long will the name of Wilder 

 live. 



I am, my dear sir, 



Ever truly yours, 



C. M. Atkinson.
