Dear Dr. Kennedy, 



Henry H. Barnes served Milton for four years as 



Auditor, and for four years no re gave most faithful and efficient 

 service as Selectman, dying last autumn in office as chairman 

 of the board. He leaves a widow and two children, the older of 

 whom only has just "begun to earn anything. He left very little 

 property, and Mrs. Barnes has been forced to take boarders to help 

 out their income. They have a mortgage of two thousand dollars 

 on their home. Some of us feel that it would be a graceful and 

 well-merited act to relieve them of the burden of this anxiety. 



send me your check for $50, payable to Philip S. Dalton, Treasurer, 

 as a contribution to this worthy purpose. Kindly also keep the 

 matter confidential, as the family know nothing of our action and 

 would shrink from any publicity of their affairs. 



I am therefore writing to ask if you will not 



Sincerely yours,
