Regular Meeting, Monday, June 18, 1894. — The Secre- 

 tary stated that he had just heard of the death of Hon. Caleb 

 Foote, who had been a member of the society from its or-

 motion of Capt. George M. Whipple, it was voted, That 

 the Secretary be instructed to write a letter of condolence 

 to the family of our revered friend, expressing the feelings 

 of the members of the society upon the loss sustained by 

 them in this event. 



In accordance with the above vote the Secretary wrote 

 to Mrs. J. B. Tileston at Mattapan (daughter of Mr. 

 Foote) : " It is the sense of the members of our society that 

 in the removal, by death, of our late associate, the Hon. 

 Caleb Foote, we have lost a most valued member and kind 

 friend, who was always ready to aid us in our work in 

 every way in his power, by liberal contril)utions of liooks 

 for our library, as well as by his ready pen whenever oc-

 us, as having been one of the most genial and worthy per-

 vote I would most tenderly offer to the family my heart- 

 felt sympathy with them in their bereavement."
