To the Cornforth Family:

Dear Mrs. Cornforth, I was very sorry to read of Charlie's passing this morning. I often think of what an excellent member of Boro Council he was, and how much of a pleasure it was knowing him.
My sincere condolences to you and your daughters especially; and to all of your grandchildren and great grandchildren. All my best to all of your family.
