Col. J. Henry Powell Paid a Distinguished Honor by Cultured Boston As indicated in Dr. Benjamin F. Trueblood's letter, which follows this introductory, says the Henderson Gleaner, our distinguished fellow townsman, Col. J. Henry Powell, was more than surprised on receipt of the letter, to know that he had been so highly honored and that too by Cultured Boston, for therein is the honor more to be appreciated. Entirely unsought and unlooked for as it was it is but natural that the Colonel should be proud of this very distinguished recognition of his worth as a man, as well as his great reputation in the lecture field. The Fleaner is glad to say that Dr. Trueblood's confidence has not been misplaced, but foruitously centered upon the right man for the place. Dr. Tueblood's letter Boston May 10 Hon. J.H. Powell, Henerson, Ky. My Dear Mr. Powell: I have planned a little surprise for you which, I hope, may be altogether pleasant to you. When I met you at henderson at the time of my lecture, I was so much pleased with your character and Christian sincerity that I have since hoped that we might have you associated with us in the great work in which the American Peace Society is engaged. I, therefore, proposed your name yesterday at our annual meeting and you were unanimously elected one of the vice-presidents of the society. The position involves no special labor and no necessary expense. I hope you may give us the great pleasure of allowing us to use your name and the influence of your standing in Kentucky in the interest of our work. With most pleasant remembrances, I am. Very sincerely yours, Benjamin F. Trueblood. Betty Sellers
