TLS, one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.5, Arcan Ridge letterhead, May 10, 1943. Letter to a friend who suffered a death in the family. In part, “Words cannot touch such a sacred grief, but my heart, lonely since Teacher’s going, understands what it is to lose a beloved lifelong companion, even though the separation be a brief one…As time passes the Comforter will bring back his presence, and upheld by faith you will journey on with him just a little ahead to light the way…Tenderly Polly and I remember the hospitality of you two warm hearted friends in bright hours and dark, and how patiently Jan met many a cruel trial and fulfilled thankless duties.” In fine condition, with some light edge toning.
