in margin: P.S James Murdoch often asks Maggie about you says he never hears from you 18th Aug. 1913 Westfield Dunbar
Dear John Muir, I am writing for dear Maggie to bear to you the sad news that our dear Auntie Lunam - her dear Mother passed
on on Friday before dawn (15th) She has been - as you will know a great invalid and helpless for over a year but Dr Black
told me she had been exempt from pain to the very end. The funeral took place yesterday when many of the Dunbar people who
knew, and loved and respected her followed all that remained of the dear Auntie Lunam to her body's resting place. Gilbert
Hay was able to come to the funeral - the only relative - James Murdoch is very frail now and not able to venture so far.
You know that my husband James is the same age as Auntie Lunam ninety next Decr. She was 90 in Octr and he is in wonderful
health in body and mind excepting a stiffness and pain in the joins when he moves 05517
