ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE, GREENWICH, FEBRUARY 14TH, 1895

To Mr. T. H. Reynolds.

Dearest Reynolds, — The enclosed came to me this morning and I hasten to send it on to you. I have heard nothing more from Belfast, and I should think that their meeting at Easter will hardly come off. I had heard from Hull, young Kolkenbeck wrote to me last week, and I trust from what he says that they have judged their course. I trust, too, they may have judged their act of discipline. I wrote to Kolkenbeck expressing a hope that they would not be too hasty in the way of reconstruction, as it was possible that there were certain elements that would be better sifted out if they were in future to go on in peace. I sent on the cheque to Mr. Wood. The account he sent me was simply a copy of what you had let me have. One wants to see how things now stand in comparison with what they were at the time of Mr. Lewis’s death. I suppose Mrs. Lewis will be getting some interest from the money invested in stocks. I imagine there will be a pretty heavy bill to pay to Mr. Wood. I trust that this severe weather may moderate before you go to Germany.

With love in the Lord,
Your affectionate brother,
F. E. Raven.
