433 W 34th New York April 15, 1899 My dear Sister Yours was received yesterday morning - also one from brother Eddie. He seems to think best to delay the collecting tour and I sent him a card this a.m. saying that we would let it be so. We have had no time to think or consult for we have had a terrible accident here. Yesterday morning about 11 Mrs Seixas - the mother in the family who tend Mary's door when she is out was fatally burned. She was in the basement preparing dinner when her dress caught fire from the range. She had on only a light thin calico wrapper

in margin Iorthryn, so I wrote yesterday - I sent a card to dear Emlyn telling him of the accident which would delay our letter to him and the sending of the papers. I wish he would write to Dr. Y., Liverpool. It is strange we have had nothing from him.
