Dear Miss Cassidy
on hearing of the death of your beloved Mother two thoughts suggest themselves to me; one of the joy which you should feel that there has been one soul added to the Kingdom of Heaven and the other of the deep sadness which you will feel at the separation.
In all your sorrows, believe, you have my prayers for the dear departed, and my warmest sympathy for you and Mr. Jenks.
Very Sincerely Yours,
FA Drexel
