J. Quincy Browne. Resigns from Finance Com. and declined re-election as Trustee
Before appointing the Standing Committees for the ensuing
year, the President read the following letter from Mr. J.
Quincy Browne, for more than twenty years a member of the
Committee on Finance:

-

Boston, February 18, 1899

My dear Mr. Spelman:

The retirement of Mr. Shaw re-
minds me that I too shall feel obliged to decline
a re-election as Trustee at the expiration of my term
in 1900, and in the hope that, in view of these changes,
you may not object to find yourself at liberty now to
reconstruct the Finance Committtee. I will ask you
to relieve me there from, if you can conveniently do
so, and trusting that, my long service of more than
twenty years may be considered as entitling me
to this favor.

I am dear Sir,

Yours most truly,

J. Quincy Browne.

Israel M. Spelman, Esq.,

President - Propr's. of the Cemetery of Mount Auburn.
