I intend to Uke out a fresh policy with you. as evidence of my entire satisfaction at the result of my matured endowment, and appreciation of the prompt and businesslike mode of conducting its affairs as shown by the New York Life. Wishing tout Company the success it deserves, Yours faithfully, Coßinxnra Tatloe. You can have as good a contract on application to Jameson and Anderson. Colombo street, or to J. A.
