made an excellent start. We have to help a little but not much I hope.

Mr. Peterson wrote a few days ago that it was only a question of a few hours with Miss Stribling. It is sad but if she is at rest she is so much better of[f] than those who live and suffer. If there is a better life she will undoubtedly get the best of it for she was worthy. If there is none she is past earths nightmare and suffers no more.



Yours in haste,
