Miss Eliza Fisher High Point , N.C.

Dear Miss Eliza,

We write to add our sympathy & condolences, in the loss of your dear mother. We count ourselves happy that we ever met this pure & lovable "Mother in Israel" & Shall ever cherish with pride, that we had reason to believe we enjoyed her esteem & confidences. It adds another attraction to Heaven to think that she is there. We love to sit & count over the dear friends that have gone up to that beautiful home. But we weep not as those who have no hope. May God the Father, the Comforter & our Lord & Savior

give you all needed Strenth in this great trial & bereavement, To whom else can we go? May the influence of her pure Sweet life continue to point & draw us upward until we too, have done with this "Vale of Tears" & joined our Loved ones above.

Yours Sincerely Mr. & Mrs R. G. Lea
