If I could lay bare those feelings to you , you would see how grateful are the emotions with which 1 cherish this and many other similar proofs of the love ancl esteem in which my late dearly loved husband was held by his Masonic friends . In the few remaining
years of my life , 1 shall not only be sustained but cheered by the reflection that my dear husband has left behind him a good and honourable name , and that those that knew him well , could best appreciate the gentleness , kindness , and Brotherly love , which were his especial and peculiar attributes . Pray , my dear sir , express to the gentlemen of the Lodges No . 91 and No . 709 , my very sincere thanks for their kind and considerate attention , and assure them that my earnest prayer is and will be for
their individual and collective happiness and prosperity . I remain , dear Sir , yours very sincerely , JANE CRUCEFIX . To W . F . DOBSON- , Esq .
