My dear Mrs. Griffing:

I cannot express to you the deep sorrow and sympathy I feel for your family in this great affliction. It pains me to tears that Mr. Griffing, so kind and conscientious always – so pleasant in his intercourse as neighbor and friend – should experience such suffering. I cannot come to you and words seem so trivial. Can I do anything for you? It would be such a privilege. May the kind Heavenly Father who watches over us all sustain you with his strong arm and bless you continually.

[My daughter] Sebie joins in love and sympathy. Hastily but in strong affection.

Ever your friend,
Mary E. A. Mudge
