This is a copy of a letter in the possession of the late Marjorie Mitchell. It is addressed to Miss Trease and reads:-

St. PAUL'S STREET, (embossed heading)
LEEDS.

24th March 1904

Dear Madam, Will you permit me on behalf of myself and partners in the late firm of John Barran & Sons to express the sympathy we feel for you and the other members of your family in the loss you have sustained.

While glad to know he passed away so peacefully, still a great blank will be felt which time alone can alleviate.

We would add our tribute of esteem and respect for your father's memory and his long and faithful service will ever be remembered by each of us.

With kind regards,
Believe me,
Yours sincerely,

W.H.Spice

Miss Trease
