My dear Mrs Spencer!
Only last evening, did I receive your letter dated February 17th, bringing me the sad tidings of your dear husband's death. I sincerely sympathize with you and your children in this irreparable loss.
I was sorry to learn of the disappointment you experienced in the disposal of your pictures.  I will go this very morning to see Mr. Draper and ask him to keep the pictures a little longer until you can come and make other arrangements. 
Now, dear Mrs. Spencer, the question arises, what can I do for you in this hour of trouble?  Tell me frankly and I will see whether it is in my power to give you a proof of our long standing friendship, for your sake and the boys!
Possibly you may come to town very soon.  If not write to me at once.
I remain, dear Mrs Spencer,
Very sincerely Yours
W. Lehans
