Frederic Kernochan, of New York City, without whose kind interest and cordial co-operation the funds for the work could not have been secured in time to have had the restoration completed by 1907, and also for the co-operation of Mr R. Fulton Cutting of New York City, and of the services rendered by Mr. Robert L. Harrison, custodian for the funds contributed in New York.

Grateful record is made of the generous contribution of Miss Marie Marshall to the restoration fund, and of the kind and generous interest of Mrs. William Pollock of New York, and of the memorial gift made by Mr. and Mrs P. H. Mayo, of Richmond, Va.

The organ was largely secured through the generous interest of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, Mrs. H. H. Houston, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Andrew Carnegie, to whose gifts were added generous contributions from persons in Williamsburg.

The pulpit and clerk's desk were secured through the loving interest of Mrs. Byam K. Stevens, of New York City.

We would also make mention of the kind participation in the work on the part of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, the Colonial Capitol branch having contributed the alms basin memorial to Rev. Robert Hunt, and secured, through Miss Lottie C. Garrett, the funds for the restoration of the colonial Governor's pew: the Washington, D. C., branch having secured the contributions for four memorial pews.

The Society of Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania restored the pew in memory of Thomas Jeffer
