A LETTER OF THANKS
Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 8, 1917.
Mr. George W'ells Parker,
Omaha, Nebraska.
Dear Sir—I want to thank you so
! much for sending the body of my hus
band home to me. I feel that I can
not thank you enough. But I am so
sorry that he had to go so far away |
from home to die, yet God knows best
and I believe in Him. Still it is hard
for me to bear. Sylvester was my j
sole and only support and I had ex
pected to leave for Omaha the day j
I received the telegram that he was j
dead. I also want to thank the un
dertaker for taking such good care of 1
his body, becaues his flesh was so
soft and life-like that it didn’t seem :
he was dead. Please write me how
he died and what w'ere his last words, j
if you can find them out.
Truly yours,
Mrs. Rose Lee Keyser,
618 West Zarragossa Street.
