I want to express my great sympathy for you and your Society in the
loss of your friend Miss Ellis.
Although I knew she had been an invalid for a long time, the news
of her death was a great shock to me. She has been so kind in
helping me to get started in the Post Office Mission, and made me
feel so truly that she stood ready to help always, that I cannot
but feel that I have in her death lost a good friend, which must be
the case with many others all over the country. She has left us all
the memory of a brave example, which ought to fill us with the
desire to carry on the good work by her begun, more faithfully than
ever.
