Resolution passed at a meeting held at Burnham, Somersetshire.
Honored Sir: The underneath resolution was unanimously passed on Wednesday last, by a crowded meeting in the Union Chapel, Edith Meol, Burnham, Somersetshire, at the close of a lecture delivered by the Reverend J. S. Balmer, of Bridgewater, on “the late President Lincoln, and his assassination,” and I have now the honor, as chairman of the meeting, to forward the same to your excellency.
RICHARD WILLIAMS.
The Hon. C. F. Adams.
“That this meeting desires to express its horror and indignation at the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the late distinguished President of America, and to assure the bereaved widow, and the American people, of its deepest sympathy with them in their hour of great trial. It would further express the ardent prayer that America may yet come out of this struggle, trusting in God, who has hitherto been its helper, and that, guided by Him, it may be led to permanent peace, great prosperity and entire national freedom.
