you have another thing to be thankful that
he died so easily without any suffering
think of my poor grandfather his suffering
was something intence and it lasted for
two weeks before his death till we thought
we would go crazy seeing him suffer and
not being able to help him - I am sure there
is not a man in the country who will be
missed as much as our dear Senator by the
poor and rich for he had friends among all
classes. Loulu & I feel greatly for you in
your deep sorrow and wish it were
in our power to do something
to lighten it in some way -

Your ever devoted namesake -
