My dear Mrs Dickinson: - Although I shall
see you almost as
soon as you receive
this note, perhaps
even before. I cannot
wait longer without
giving some expression
of my profound sympathy
for you and Mr Dickinson
in your great afflicting
grief. I doubt if there
can be any greater human
suffering than you
are now so suddenly
called upon to bear in
the loss of your little boy,
