The melancholy intelligence of your sister’s death has grieved me more

than I can express, and I beg to render you my heartfelt sympathy.

Truly we live in a world where solemn shadows are continually falling

upon our path—shadows that teach us the insecurity of all temporal

blessings, and warn us that here “there is no abiding place.” We have,

however, the blessed satisfaction of knowing that death cannot enter

that sphere to which the departed are removed. Let hope and faith,

my dear friend, mingle with your natural sorrow. Look to that future

where the sundered ties of earth are reunited.

Very sincerely yours,

SARAH CLARK.

To MISS NELLIE BARTON,

No. 4 Beacon Place, Boston.
