[To FMY and CMY]
My dear Friends,
Forgive us for not having remembered to write to you yesterday. Our dear Sister1 departed like a babe from its mother’s arms with hardly a shudder, seemingly in the midst of a sweet sleep which had lasted a great many hours. God be thanked for her, and may He pour His rich blessings on you and all who love her.
It was at 9.30 yesterday morning; my wife was poorly, but both she and my brothers wife seem comfortably rested to-day.
In haste and love, yours always
