Vanderpoel family annuals and household memories . when you will be with us again, whichis quite a consolation but when you left our shores at first youcould not fix on any definite time for your return. And Benny must have some little attention. He no doubt misseshis home and home attachments. His time to look forward towhen he will be with us once more is so far in the distance thatI doubt whether he wishes to dwell on it much. Mr. H. Smith, brother of Walter, was buried today from church. I have not heard the cause of his death but Iunderstood some weeks ago he came on here from Paris (leavinghis wife behind) to make some alterations in some stores of hison Broadway, and he ran the tooth of a comb in his big toe whichbecame very painful. He had pieces of it cut off from time totime. Then a consultation was held to take into considerationthe amputating the foot and I believe the leg, but the result oftheir deliberation was his life could not be saved. The poisonhad gone too far into his system. It seems he stepped on a comb.
