Tyler, Texas. March 1st,1905
Gentlemen,
On behalf of myself and the family of my deceased brother, I wish to say that your resolutions were gratefully received by us.
It is gratifying to us to know that in this time of sorrow, we have been so kindly remembered by all of our friends, and in the dark hour of trouble resolutions passed by you come as a ray of sunshine.
I only regret that at this time I am not fully able to express my feelings and those of my relatives.
Yours very truly,
John F. Lehane
The Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Fort Worth, Texas.
