KYNNERSLEY MEMORIAL.
The following extracts from letters received by a member of the Kynnersley Memorial Committee, will show that the scheme of a monument in Westport, which has been adopted by public meetings at Westport, Charleston, and Brighton, is approved by Mr Kynnersley's friends in Nelson as appropriate and desirable.
Mr James Sclanders, after stating that he had written to Mr Kynnersley's friends in England to know their wishes as to a tombstone over the grave, adds :—" Meanwhile the West Coast memorial has my full sympathy, and I beg to enclose Eost-ofrlco order for £1 Is as a small contribution to the fund."
Mr Lowther Broad, R.M., says : " Wo propose to put a railing round the grave and a stone over it. If, however, his friends do this, we will send our subscriptions to aid the fund for the erection of a memorial in Westport. You have our sincere sympathy, and I think we all feel that Westport would be the most proper place for a public memorial of him. We, of course, waut to see his grave decently tended, beyond that we will give all we can to aid the object you have in view."
