My dear friend
Naturally it is your dear husband who comes first into my mind – I am much distressed to hear of his suffering, but tell him that summer is in front of him and he will rejoice in it again.
Mr. Wright’s death I have been expecting for some time. If I had been in his case I should have prayed for it night and day. A friend of mine went to stay with Maclaren a little while ago. You will remember him at
Southampton. He began to talk about William as if the five and forty years distance were nothing.
We both send our best love
Your most affectionate friend
W. Hale White
