The Late Dean Foley

The Rev. Father Coffey, Adm. St. Joseph's Cathedral, Dunedin, and nephew of the late Very Rev. Dean Foley, has received the following letter from the secretary of the New Headford branch of the H.A.C.B. Society :—: —

'On behalf of the New Headford branch I beg to' forward you a copy of a resolution passed at a meeting held on December 28 : " That this meeting record its deep regret at the decease of their former chaplain, the late Very Rev. Dean Foley, and also the appreciation of the branch for his very valuable services during the time of his chaplaincy." The members could not, I am sure, express in words their deep and heartfelt regret on the death of such a warm-hearted, faithful, and devoted priest. Dining the seven years he was chaplain of our branch he made himself so endeared to all of us that he can never oe forgotten. It was he, I might state, who was mainly responsible for doubling the membership of the branch, and apart from his good work in other parls, we feel sure thati his efforts in our little parish have been a benefit to every one of us. Promising you that we will always remember him in our prayers, and asking you to accept our sincere sympathy on the loss of your dear relative.'
