TO THE REV. JOHN IRWIN, A.M.
Rev. Sir,
I (with the rest of the members of St. James's Church) am most sincerely happy in the anticipation of your residence among us as our Pastor; and I trust this small expression of welcome may not be considered unworthy of your regard. Will you accept this small offering from the orphan daughter of your predecessor, who hopes long to see you the dispenser of the word of life in this parish, and that yourself and family may spend many happy years in that home which is endeared to her as her birth-place?
I am,
Rev. Sir,
Very respectfully yours,
AUGUSTA BALDWYN.
St. Johns, C.E.,
15th April, 1859.
