a $553 note, signed by the Bishop for the

can never be filled (it is useless to say more.)

Bishop Elliott's funeral address lays
eloquently before the world the excellency
of a genius and a heart that never
can be surpassed, and with a
religious truth that cannot be
questioned; all that we know
our dear Bishop and Glorious
General cannot but curse
the War that took him from us.
