Mr. McClure3 came to Boston on Sunday and brought me word of your bereavement. I want to tell you how sorry I am to know that you have lost your mother4, and to ask you at this hard time to believe in my sympathy and friendship. Please let me extend to Mrs. Hendrick5 and yourself my sincerest regret and sympathy.
Faithfully Willa Cather Friday.
