• Notes

  This is a transcript of a letter written by Elizabeth Todd from Chicago in 1939 in response to one from Eva Silver telling Elizabeth of her sister's death, that is Eva's mother. <br> 13th Sept 1939 2172 Giddings Street, USA Chicago, Ill<br> My Dear Eva,<br> Received your dear letter Monday this week with the sad news of your dear mother's death. She died on the 19th Aug, our father's birthday.<br> How strange. But I never knew she had not been well all this year. She never complained till the last, poor dear.<br> She must have been a great sufferer. Am glad you were all able to be with her, it sure would be a great comfort to her at the end.<br> Yes, dear, it's your Dad that will miss her most, they sure have been a very happy couple for so long. God had spared them so long. <br>So she wished to be cremated and she had her wish.<br> I will always remember when I said goodbye to her at the station when she left for Australia.<br> Little did we think we would not meet again on this earth. I feel so sad for you now but am glad dear you take is so well and you say it's God's will and we must bear it.<br> I will try and write your dear Dad some day. Am glad he is bearing up so well.<br> You will be back in your hospital by now and I expect plenty work to pass the time.<br> Much sympathy pass your Uncle and cousins and love from us all ever, <br>From old Aunty Lyzzie. <br> PS Mother was about 2 years younger than me and every one thought she was the oldest. Mother used to call her "wee boobet", a pet name I dare say. She would not tell you it. Bye bye dear, God bless you<br> My dear I have the picture with your Dad and her taken at the seaside; we're so proud of it. Ta Ta.<hr>
