From S.D. Sturgis to Nellie, October 26, 1879 page 6

I hope my dear Mrs. Mighels
that you and your little fam-
ily will accept my warm-
est sympathy for your
great loss, and always con-
sider me at your service
and glad to be called upon,
if at any time you may
think I might be of
service to you --

In the mean time, be-
lieve me [illegible]

your friend
