Transcript

Sunday

My dear Mrs Clifford I have just read Fred Pollocks beautiful notice. It is written without words I think & makes one feel what it is he knows so well, & something of what your blessed knowledge & love & loss must be. Thankyou for sending it to me.

I am not yet up but tomorrow I shall be all right I hope—& meanwhile I must tell you how I have read it & how thankful I am that you have the—only—consolation of feeling that your husbands influence & sympathy kindles such hearts.

If my head gets right I shall try & find you on Wed[nesda]y morning & bring the book.

Your affectionate
Anne Ritchie
