My dear friend, I do not know whether you can have heard of my affliction. But tho'
it is still very hard for me to write, I know so well your affection for me and my children that
I cannot longer put off informing you of our sad loss. My dear Lizzie is no longer with us on earth.
We are parted as I trust but for a time. You know her and know how closely she clung to me and how
dependent I am on my children. Therefore you can judge of the severity of this blow to me and I
am just as certain of your sympathy as if you were here weeping with and for me. I must first tell
you how she had grown up to be the most interesting and to become endeared to all our friends who
knew her affectionately to pass the outer wall of her reserve.
