Dear Mr.Wormald, I was very pleased to hear that your Company are taking steps to ensure Mrs.Halliwell's future. I have much pleasure in enclosing my cheque for £10. towards the fund and should be pleased if you would pass this across to the right quarter. Halliwell worked under me for some time at the Sunbeam before he joined you, and I am pleased to know that his wife will not be left destitute by the unfortunate accident on Lake Windermere. Yours truly, p.p.J.S.Irving J.S.IRVING. (Capt) | ||
