First draft of letter,in note-book January, 1903 Dear sister Sarah: We are all shocked and grieved by the sad news of
Hiram's death - husband and father cut off in his prime. We sympathise with you all, grandfather, grandmother, mother and
little children, and pray Heaven to guide and console you in your bereavement and sorrow, and as soon as you can, let us know
how best we can help you. Ever affectionately yours, J. M.
