Boston. Mass., May 8, 1911 



Gentlemen : 



We presume the sad circumstances 



connected with the death of our late broth- 

 er, James L. Williamson, are still fresh in 

 your minds . 



How, after attending a meeting of the 

 Soots' Charitable Committee, he met his 

 fate by being crushed to death while en- 

 deavoring to board a moving train at the 

 Back Bay station, for his home in Allston. 



He has left, practically penniless, a 

 a widow, and four boys whose ages range from 

 three to eleven years. 



A committee has been formed to collect 

 subscriptions in their behalf. 



No matter how careful we may consider 

 ourselves to be, accidents will happen, and 

 we ask you to show your thankfulness in hav- 

 ing escaped any such fate, by contributing 

 as the Lord may have blessed you, to this 

 fund . 



Contributions may be sent to any mem- 

 ber of the committee or direct to the treas- 

 urer . 



Committee 'Robert Gray
