ing. That letter J shall preserve as long as I preserve any papers. It showed that his mind was still, at the close of his life, engaged in thinking about you and this meeting, and meeting and talking with you here. Peace be to the ashes of Judge Wright.

Mr. Hollingsworth said:

I do not wish to delay the adjournment but a moment. I was fortunate in an acquaintance with all these men. Mr. Wilson, to me, was not simply the congressman, not the United States senator; to me he was Jim Wilson, the saddler. Our acquaintance began then, and when he died it came to me as upon the death of Judge Wright, as a matter of personal loss. It seemed as though my family had been invaded. So it seemed when Judge Wright died. It was not Judge Wright, it was George Wright, the man who was welcomed to our pioneer cabin; it was Wright, the neighbor, the friend, honest, square, upright, sincere. And so, in regard to these men who have passed away, I want the privilege of adding my tribute of respect, not for what they did for the state so much as what they were to me as friends.

The resolutions of respect were unanimously adopted and, the business of the association being at an end, the members joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne," after which the association adjourned sine die.
