DETROIT, MICH, May 19, 1900. Dear Sir:
Thirty-two years ago when I became rector of St. Peter's Church, Philadelphia, I found Mrs. Lloyd acting as the Superintendent of the Infant Sunday School. In that position her work was wonderful. She knew each child by name, maintained perfect order without the slightest show of authority, and imparted her instructions so as to win all their hearts.
I shall always remember her and her noble work with thankfulness and admiration. It is many years since I have had the privilege of meeting her. I am glad that you are preparing a tribute to her memory.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS F. DAVIES.

Dear Sir :
‘Thirty-two years ago when I became rector of St. Peter’s
Church, Philadelphia, I found Mrs. Lloyd acting as the Super-
intendent of the Infant Sunday School. In that position her
work was wonderful. She knew each child by name, main-
tained perfect order without the slightest show of authority,
and imparted her instructions so as to win all their hearts.
I shall always remember her and her noble work with
thankfulness and admiration. It is many years since I have
had the privilege of meeting her. I am glad that you are pre-
paring a tribute to her memory.
Very truly yours,
CLEMENT E. Lioy, Esq. THOMAS F, DAVIE
