My very dear May Hopkins

I have had several letters from
Mr. Nash since his sojourn with you, and
in each he tells me of the improvement and change
in your dear one "growing in grace each day".
You and your dear household have often been
the subject of my thoughts and I always have
a picture of a sweet happy house. Such a
sight pleases even the angel world for there
are not as many peaceful restful and exemplary
houses as bids the inspection of the outside world
without finding a skeleton, as there should be
here on Earth. I feel so grateful to you for your
kindness to Mr. Nash and I can assure you dear
May to no one could you more worthely bestow
kindness upon and no one more than he appreciates
such attentions. We are feeling sad over the
painful news that reached us yesterday of the
passing from life here on earth of Mr. Charles
Crocker, before we left New York last May, we
knew of his severe illness, and feared a fatal
result, but since then have constantly heard of
an improved condition and the sudden termination
of life here gave us a severe shock. I picture the
distress of the family, their loss is irreparable
