My dear Mr. Evans
I only heard of your great loss on Saturday tho' I was staying all last week at Packington. It was very kind of you to think of asking me, & I certainly should have come, had I known in time. Your wife's memory is associated in my mind with numberless acts of kindness throughout the twenty years of my residence at Exhall & Bedworth, & I feel that another very kind friend is taken. I grieve to think that such a blow has fallen on you, & I know that it will be very heavy- lightened tho' it must be by the thought that rest & peace has taken the place of weary & severe suffering. If sympathy be any comfort you may be sure that you have ours, & that you will all be much in our thoughts.
Believe me
Very truly yours
Edward J Dowman |  |
