Dear Mrs Wells and family,
We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr Wells. You are all such a kind and loving family, and we remember you with fondness. You remain in our thoughts and prayers. By the way, the last of Mr Gosset’s seven guineas (that you gave us) passed away this fall. They gave us much joy for many years. Thanks much to you, and, again, please know that we hold you in thought and prayer at this difficult time.
