The man who went for me to Avonmore to bring Mrs. McGee’s remains to Moose Creek told me the amount prepaid by you was $7.80. Although you have not charged me for it, yet I do not think I ought to let you pay for an extra outlay in connection with the poor that are under your care; so you will please find enclosed the sum of $8.00 and accept my thanks for letting me know of Mrs. McGee’s death in time. I had no trouble in getting her here.
