Dear Ones
Your sorrowful letter
reached us Wednesday A M
and while it was what we
have been expecting it yet seems
we can not but feel a shock.
How we would wish to be
with you now.
and what a
vacancy in you home. we
know so well what it all
means.
But we feel sure that
when the first shock is
over you will feel thankful
that poor dear Aunts suffering
is all over.
and of course
you have known for months
what the end would be But
oh the lonelyness . you
will dread for a time to
leave the house knowing
what you must go back to.
The children will be such a
comfort to you Uncle I am
so glad you have them at
home with you.
As soon as you can
feel able we want you to
write us all the particulars
Uncle you know I am not
supersticious but the night
of a week ago last Wed
(the day she took bad) I dreamed
about her so much would
wake then fall asleep and
dream again and was
always visiting with her
and she seemed so well
and happy. The next morning
I told Pa and he said “Well
maby we will hear from
them it is time” I told him
I dreaded to get a letter from
you for fear it would contain
bad news.
and when I
got your letter I could
scarcely make myself open
it. now
bare up as best
you can it is what dear
aunt would wish. and
write as soon as you
can. we
are well.
goodby from Dott and Pa
