Dear Mr. Lavely:

It is with most heartfelt regret that I
learned of your plans for leaving us.

Your services have brought sincere thought
and thankfulness to us and we know that your new
new congregation will benefit from your sermons
as we have.

With deepest gratitude for the help you
have given us and best wishes to you in your new
pastorate.

"Godspeed" and thank you,

Sincerely yours,
Ruth Steadman
