Wars, and the Society of Colonial Dames in Virginia contributed the funds for the restoration of the clock in memory of the House of Burgesses. The pew memorial to Richard Bland has been restored by the Virginia Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Governor's Chair, Memorial to Lord Botetourt, was given by the Colonial Dames of America, in Missouri. We would also record our appreciation of generous contributions made to the Endowment Fund by Mrs. Mary Corling Dunlop, of Petersburg, Va., and Mrs. Van Ness, of Lexington, Mass.

The names of all who have contributed will be recorded in the Book of Memorial to be kept in the crypt of the Church.

To those who have contributed special memorials, and to those who have kindly acted as sponsors for special pews, especially to Mrs. W. Hartwell Macon, who secured funds for so many memorials, and to all who have, through sympathy, advice, and contributions, aided in the work, the congregation, Vestry, and Rector of Bruton Parish Church would extend most grateful and cordial thanks.
