History

"As requested by the Rev. M.C. Davies, Messrs. William Griesinger, A.J. Reaume and William Murdoch, Provincial Members for the Windsor area, we are forwarding to you a chair from the Province of Ontario for the Baby House. These chairs were in constant use in the Legislative chambers for over sixty-five years, and are therefore of historical significance and since a member from your area occupied one, we feel that it should be given to the Museum, Council Chamber or organization of his choice" A.W. Downer, speaker, Parliament Bldgs., Toronto.
