Elder, William Henry, Archbishop of, Cincinnati, Ohio, to George Elder, 1888 November 2

He is much pressed for time, getting ready to leave home tonight. He takes time to write a few words of sympathy on the loss of his grandfather. He knows how much he loved George and was loved in return. He knows George will say many prayers for his soul and hopes he woon will have the happiness of offering Holy Communion for him. He left a beautiful example for all his children and grandchildren in his good life, doing his duty to God and to his family and neighbors. He spent two days with George's grandfather at the home of George's father and gave him Holy Communion twice. He was glad to get better acquainted with George's mother and sister. He had not seen his mother except for a very short time many years ago when she was living in St. Louis. He hopes to have other opportunities of seeing her and all of them. He is going to Baltimore and his address will be in care of Mr. F.W. Elder, 102 E. Madison Street, Baltimore, Maryland. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
