East Greenwich
September 24 1894
Dear George;
We received letters this morning telling us of Henry's death. We were very much surprised and sorry to hear it. I received a letter from him this summer and did not think but what he was as well as usual. He said he had intended [pg 2] to come down and see us this summer, but his crops were so poor he thought he would have to wait another year. We thought perhaps he would change his mind and rather looked for him through the month of August. I am very sorry that we are so far away that we cannot be with you through this week; I have not seen you for a long time, but have always kept track [pg 3] of you through your Father and Henry, but now I hope you will write to me so we can keep track of each other and perhaps some time we will be able to see each-other. If you ever come East, we shall be very glad to have you come and see us. our relation are very few, and it seems to me what there is left of us aught to know about each other. I have written to
Joseph Fry and will write Auntie Richmond. Lizzie joins with me [pg 4] in love and sympathy to you, hoping to hear from you soon. I am Your Cousin,
Anna Peirce
So sad.
