Dear Mrs. Shipman,–
I was so shocked today when I heard of your great sorrow.
My dear, my heart goes out to you in your grief

and I wish so much that I could do something to help comfort you. However, it is at justc such times as these that we realize what frail creatures we are.
Anyway, I want you to know you have my love and deepest sympathy.
Come out and spend the day with me sometime. I would just love to have you - just drop me a line when it is most convenient

for you.
Remember me to the children and much love for yourself.
Fondly,
Wilson W. Matton.
