319. Asking a Relative to attend a Funeral.
The Grove,
S——, April 13, 19—.
Dear Uncle James:—
By this time you have surely received my telegram containing the sad news of my dear mother's death. My father is quite overcome with grief at the suddenness of the blow that has fallen upon us all, and is therefore unequal to writing himself, but he wishes me to say that the funeral is to take place on Saturday next, the 10th instant, at 2 o'clock, at the North Baptist Church, and he hopes you will attend if possible.
With our united best love, I remain, in deep grief,
Your affectionate nephew,
Herbert Reeves.
