What a loss is wonderful genius is to all the world. We feel our hearts so drawn to you dear Edwina and your little ones his only representatives. We shall hope to see you when we all return and Ethel joins me in


love and wishes for your happiness. This sad blow will long hang over us all, and you will have to try and bear it for the sakes of all your loved ones. Please give our kindest regards and sympathies to Mr Grossman and


this winter we all felt how sweet it was of him to come though not feeling strong to see the portrait of [McCulloch?] And Ethel and I were so grateful to have a little visit from him. We shall always remember him as such a noble friend so gifted
