My very dear Alice,

Em and I were heartbroken this morning
to hear over the radio about our beloved Gertrude. The dear
friend of half a life time. We are so shocked and distressed
and our first thoughts are for you. We sat together this morn-
ing filled with sorrow and talking over Gertrude in all the
ways and in all the places we have known her -- nearly forty
years of love and friendship.

Em has a little house here, next to hers,
and she says for you to come to it when you come back to this
country and to have it for as long as you like. With love and
all my deep feeling for you, as ever
