expressing my thanks to an aged lady

A faithful and devoted daughter of the Church has presented this Parish with a handsome Stone Font, and by her unceasing efforts and devotion, is doing much in other respects to promote the welfare of the Parish. I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to an aged lady member of the Parish for kindnesses of a personal nature.
