"Roslyn S.I.[?] Lords Day, Oct.17th 1880. To the next President of the United States Gen. J.A. Garfield. With the best wishes for your spiritual and temporal good and that of the Nation under your administration is the prayer of your sincere and humble servant. S.R. Ely"
"My dear Sir! Along with this I send a letter for your young friend addressed to Mrs.[?]. Yours truly, W.C. Bryant March 31, 1882[?]."
"Mr. Bryant was under my father's ministry for eighteen years when he was at Roslyn. He looked upon Mr. Bryant as one who took Christ as his only Saviour and His example his only pattern. After the death of my father he remarked to me that he was truly a pastor; loving and beloved. I expect there was no one more familiar with Mr. Bryant in religious conversation than he was. S.R. Ely"
Included a printed invitation for attendance at Ely Family Re-Union, July 10th, 1878.
