Dear Sirs:
In regards to the monuments, I will say that for the children's Eligha on
the north side and Louis on the south side. You know we did not know the
position when you were here. Instead of the line you chose for the childrens
you may place this.
"Round these little graves we linger
Till the sitting sun is low
Feeling all our hopes have perished
With the ones we cherished so.
Respety Mrs S. J. Hall
