process has now pretty much come to an

end, the probability is that you already have all
the means in your power to decide upon the most advisable and
compendious mode of acknowledgment.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,

Addresses, &c, for Mrs. Lincoln, from The Ladies’ Negroes’ Friend
Society, Cardiff.
[Untitled]
The following resolution was passed unanimously at a pubic meeting in
Cardiff, on the 12th of June, 1865, after a lecture delivered by the
Rev. J. S. Balmer, of Bridgewater, on the late President Lincoln and
his assassination:
“That this meeting desires to express its horror and indignation at
the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the late distinguished
President of America, and to assure the bereaved widow and the
American people of its deepest sympathy with them in this hour of
great trial. It would further express the ardent prayer that America
may yet come out of this struggle trusting in God, who has. hitherto
been its helper, and that guided by Him, it may be led to permanent
peace, great prosperity, and entire national freedom.”
