MassachusettsTuesday afternoon [November 19, 1929 was a Tuesday, and other faculty members are just starting to hear about Effie's death]
My dear Miss Turner,
We are completely stunned as everyone will be. It seems something that we can't believe, but oh, if such a thing had to be, I am unspeakably thankful that Effie was with friends. When you sometime hear details, you will share them with us, I know. The heavenly birthday must have followed closely upon the day we keep for her. It must be, mustn't it, that somewhere Effie is to have even more of beauty and wonder and knowledge and satisfaction than she had anticipated from this year?
Thank you for coming over.
Yours sincerely,
Alice P. Stevens
