Dear Miss Fletcher,

I have but received yours of the 16th inst. as this is my first day in my studio since returning from my sad mission.

It was a great shock to all of us, particularly to mother. I feel my loss more and more each day, as the reality of it all comes over me. Seeing the faces of friends again, and talking it all over brings it all home with a bitter pang.

I can't think of any one among his friends who will miss him more than yourself. I fully appreciate your sympathy and that of all the kind friends.

Give my best regards to Mr La Flesche
Very sincerely yours
T. H. Fillmore
