The first announcement that I had of your severe financial loss was

through the morning paper. I can only express my sorrow at the event

and my indignation over the falsity of the cashier in whom you placed

so much confidence.

Hoping that you have employed the best of detective skill, and

that you will succeed in recovering a portion, at least, of the

sequestrated funds, I am,

Yours sincerely,

GEORGE G. PARSONS.

MR. FLETCHER BLAKE,

President of the First National Bank, Aurora, Minn.

It must be remembered that letters of condolence, unlike those of

congratulation, are not expected to receive an early answer, and, in

case of very deep affliction, may remain seemingly unnoticed, save

perhaps, after a time, by cards of thanks.
