Letter from Lefferts Family to the Telegrapher

Acknowledgment of the Family of General Lefferts

to the Employes of the Gold and

Stock Telegraph Company.

THE floral offering of the employes of the Gold and Stock Telegraph at the funeral of their late President, General MARSHALL LEFFERTS, was very beautiful. The following letter of acknowledgment, on behalf of the family of the deceased, has been furnished us for publication:

NEW YORK, July 8, 1876.

To the Employes of the Gold and Stock Telegraph Co.

I am requested by my mother and family to express, as well as I am able, the feeling with which we received the beautiful offering of flowers which you sent to your friend and president. If anything can tend to alleviate the sorrow which we feel at our loss, it would be the universal sympathy and love which has been expressed by all those with whom he has had relations.

Thanking you again for the kind consideration and sympathy shown to us, I am,

Very sincerely, yours, MARSHALL C. LEFFERTS.
