Dear Sir — "In consideration of the generous and prompt manner in which you settled with me, 



11 following on my claim on your Company for glass broken by the severe storm on March 

 11 4th, I wish to convey my best thanks to you personally for the courtesy and fairness 

 "shown me when here on the following day, and to the Company for their unquestion- 

 ably fair method of business. I do not desire a repetition of the storm, but in these 

 "untoward occurrences it is very gratifying to know that 'The Hailstorm Insurance Co. 1
