Waterford, N. Y.
April 27th 1888
My Dear Miss Hattie,
It is with
genuine sorrow we learn of your
dear father's death. As yet we
have heard none of the partic-
ulars, and do not know whether
it had come unexpectedly
or not. Please accept for your
self, and all the members of
your family our warmest sym-

pathy in your sad bereavement
We feel especially grieved for
poor Henry. It will add so much
to his grief to feel that he was
so near and yet could not
have the melancholy pleasure
of bidding him farewell.
Maria hoped to write, and
I am so sorry she could not
as she could do it so much
better than I. These few hur-
riedly written words cannot
convey to you one half of what
we feel for you all.

We will think of you often, and pray for
you during these trying days.
Please give much love and sympathy to
all the family. And believe me,
Lovingly Your,
Mary Anderson.
