My dear Mr Malone

Permit me to express to you my sincere admiration of your delightful article in "The Forum". You pay therein, a most noble tribute of the memory of my dearly loved and honored Father! and I propose to place it -- foremost among


my valued possessions relating to Him. In reading it - (as I have done many times) I am moved to tears! It may gratify you to know that I have frequently heard dear Father speak of you, and of his interest in your own achievements in the dramatic arts, as well as in literature. The days are desolate


without his dear presence, and our otherwise happy home, can never be quite the same again! However, I would not call him back to suffer the ills which had assailed his gentle Spirit! "We must be patient!"

Yrs in sorrow

Edwina Booth Grossmann
