I  trust  this  may  find  you  rapidly  recovering,  and  that
yourself  and  family  may  not  be  affected  by  the  rigidity
of  our  Northern  winter.  The  change  must  be  very
great,  and  you  will,  no  doubt,  have  to  get  acclimated.
I  congratulate  you  on  the  speed  and  safety  of  your
journey.
Frank  and  I  wish  to  be  remembered  to  you  all.
Yours  in  love  and  sympathy,

MINNIE  GILDERSLEEVE.

DEAR  FRIEND  :  We  were  very  much  grieved  indeed  to
learn  of  the  death  of  your  husband.  Although  person
ally  not  knowing  him,  yet  we  felt  that  we  did  know  him
through  his  letters  and  through  a  warm  interest  in  a
common  cause.  We  are  glad  indeed  that  you  know
where  to  seek  comfort.  We  are  sure  that  you  have  it,
and  thank  God  that  it  is  so.
We  are  also  glad  to  learn  that  you  are  with  friends  at
home,  and  that  you  have  children  that  will  help  to  fill
and  cheer  your  lonely  heart.  May  God  bless  you  and
them!

Sincerely  yours,

D.  L.  DAVIS.

our  great  loss.  It  seems  utterly  useless  to  try  and  ex
press  my  feelings.  It  seems  as  if  the  one  that  could
