A. BOURBONNIERE, ESQUIRE, Dear SIR,

Your very kind invitation to be present at the reception tendered to Father Garin received.

As I'esteem Father Garin one of my neaerst friends, it will give me great pleasure to join in my humble way in paying honor to a man that reflects honor on the city of his adoption ; and one whose work for charity and education in Lowell will be an enduring monument to his memory in the years to come.

T'hope and pray that your venerable pastor will live to celebrate in Lowell the seventy-fifth anniversary of his entrance into the Oblate Congregation, and that your people will be so strong and influential in Lowell, that the day will be one of general rejoicing.

With my most sincere thanks for your kind remembrance and my best wishes to you and Reverend Father Garin,

l'am respectfully,
