Dear Friend -
Miss Blackwell,
I thank you very much 
for your most kind words 
of sympathy, they have been
much to me in this time
of great sorrow.  Our dear
boys are as devoted & kind
as possible - but the great
loneliness seems more than
I can bear, at times.  Among
the more than one hundred
kind letters received, I
shall cherish yours highly

For you knew him so well
and he was very fond of you
He always enjoyed the many
pretty card which you have
sent him in the years past.
I enjoyed the delightful
call yesterday of another of
his cherished friends, like yourself;
Miss Ellen Bailey - so dear
of her to remember us - for I
cannot say me yet.  The 
loneliness seems more than
I can bear -
Cordially
M. A. Clapp
