Mr. C. W, Davidson Chr, Board of Deacons lst Presbyterian Church Mooresville, N. C. My dear Mr. Davidson: As the church year draws to a close, I want to thank the officers of the church for the -very generous check they have been sending me eacn month during the vast year. I deeply appreciate this and thank you sin- cerely for it, as well as for all the other wonderful things thet the church, through you officers, has done for us. Surely the Lord directed us in deciding to remain in Mooresville, for nowhere else would we have received such kindness as has been shown by you deer friends. Of courses, I shall not expect this check after the end of this church yeer, nor do +wish it to continue, as I do no want to be a burden to the church. The many things that have been done in memory of my husband - the thought- fulness and kindness at the time of his death, the splendid and most appropriate memorial which you have established besides check the monthiy Which has been so generous, all go to show me that my husband was appre- ciated for his real worth far more than he or we realized. These Bible ctures are indeed a most fitting memorial, and the Minister you have chosen has been one whom Mr. White has edmired for a long time, and we ere especially glad to heve him to begin the LectureS¢ And so, for all these things and many others, my children thank yOu each one. a 2 wr s May GOD bless you in your work of the church and may it continue ° Progress as rapidly in the future as it has in the past year.
