Dear May: Three or four weeks ago I read in the Herald of your mothers weakening and failing condition and of Frank's going to see you and her in North Carolina where I an?pose you had gone with her where she might have the benefit of a cooler climate during her illness. So of course I have expected the news of her death which last weeks Herald has brought to me and during the time, I have thought very many times, "What shall I say to May" when the news of her mother's going comes" and I do not know yet. Only that you have my sympathy in whatever of distress and grief this event causes you. You have been a fine and faithful daughter to her and have sacrificed much for her and for years done her filial daughterly service. She was like mother in that she was one of such excellent health and I suppose one might say of her as I have often thought of mother, she was physically almost a perfect working machine hence the very long life. Some way I seem to have it in my mind
