Open Hearth
Lake AvenueWed. eve.
My Dear Aunt Emma.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and dear Abbie this evening as we realize that Uncle Geo. has been called home at last. What a circle of the loved ones are waiting for us on the other side.
Jessie is leaving tonight and I were strong enough I should certainly go with her, but I am not able to do very much yet, to tax my strength.
May God give you strength and wisdom dear to arrange your plans for the best. We do all send you so much love shall be with you in spirit these days, when you are going through with the services so sacred and comforting.
If you can come to Cleveland at any time, our home is wide open to you both and a cordial welcome awaits you always. Oh so much love from us all -
Aff. Bertha. [Wellman, married to Emma's nephew Charles Henry Wellman, who died in June 1905]
