flower, it is meet that you, should
but be thankful that God gave
you such a fair and lovely
child, so shall his memory be
sweet to you, as you give up
his mortal part to rest in
the grave until the resurrection
day.

Dear little Gilbert seems
to me as a Grand child,
for his own love of me &
from the great kindness
ever shown me by his
father - Give Mr. Dickinson
my sincere sympathy, and
also the Brother & Sister of
dear "Gibbie". I am sorry
for you all, and very sorry
that I shall not be able to
be with you to-day. I am
glad Mr. Jenkins can be
with you.

Your loving Friend
Fanny H. Boltwood.

Mrs. W. A Dickinson
Oct 8, 1883
