Staff of temporary assistants in
order that there might be no de

LETTER OF THANKS
I wish to thank those who came
to my assistance regarding the/ arti
ficial bands, and in particular Mr.
.Bunting and Mr. A. C. Blanchard
for their part in the matter.
I also take this opportuity of
thanking the White I>ass employes
and others a' the wharf for their
aid last April. I would say, "It
is almost worth the experience
although so severe, to knou 1 have
so many friends."
I desire especially to mention a
lady and gentleman. The lady can
not be praised too highly for her
kindness, attention and care, which
in a very large measure helped to
pull me through. I refer to Miss
il. Paterson, nurse at the White
Pafls nospital. The gentleman, Mr.
Joseph Edgar, has proved a friend
indeed, without his help I really do
not know how I should hare man
aged. There are others I could
oame, but will say I want my
friends to know that their serveral
kindnesses are very much appreciat
ed.
By, Yours Sincerely,
J. A. Thornton.
P. S. To the many inquiries 1
will add, "The hands have arrived
at last, waiting for them being
the reason for my delay in dictat
ing this letter of thanks. Thornton.
