to extend to you the tribute of
my most respectful sympathy

May the good that you
both have done plead with
The Great Father of us all, to
grant you his peace, and
after your work in this world
is ended, I devoutly pray,
That you may be reunited
with the great Benefactor of
his people, in that region
where you both will enjoy
forever the rewards of well
spent lives -

Allow me, dear
Madam to subscribe myself
Most obediently and Respectfully
Yours

Robt. Aldrich
