My Dear Mr. Stefansson:-

Your kind letter was appreciated so much just hearing from you seemed to help so many heartaches.

You and all of us concerned are in the same mental attitude and only we who are going through this

2.

experience can understand just what it means. It seems I am using every atom of courage but I mean to stand firm and help the others all I can.

Fred's brother permitted me to read your last letter and we are all anticipating your coming by Nov. 4th-8th. I am sure it will mean much to all of us to talk with you.

I had planned to come

3.

into New York next week or the week after, but since you are coming it will be much better, so that Fred's parents and his brothers and sister can have the satisfaction also.

We will be glad to meet you and let us know the date we may expect you.

Mr. Stefansson my heart is so full and my mind so confused that I feel I am unable to express my real sentiment for you. I am sincerely sorry for you and no matter what the out come of all this may be, regardless of any other opinion concerning you please remember that Delphine is your friend among many others who are standing with you now.

Some how I feel that this

4.

is not the end, we will find comfort surely, by being enlightened in some way. Every circumstance can be met and adjusted and I am confident that there will be some relief to our anxiety.

Hoping to see you within the next two weeks

I am, Most Sincerely

Delphine Jones Maurer
