Dear Mrs. Lynch-Staunton:

Your tragic and so sweet note has just reached us and I hasten to convey to you our heartfelt sympathy. We can well understand the depth of your bereavement for we ourselves recognize the exceptional qualities your dear husband radiated.

Furthermore, we realized all too well the bonds of happiness and of mutual understanding which united you both.

There is little for us poor humans to do or to say when faced with such blows of fate - yet we hope that, thanks to the many interests you have, you will gradually overcome your grief and renew your activities as you know your husband would have wished you to do.

Should you come to New York, do consider our home as a haven of peace always open to you.

Do accept our sincerest condolences, and with kindest thoughts from us both,

Yours,

Mrs. Victory Lynch-Staunton
Clydagh
Nashville, Ontario

P.S. Do excuse this typewritten note, but I have trouble with longhand and my desire to write you posthaste will make up, I hope, for this seeming lack of courtesy.
