| Transcript | San Francisco 19th May 79 [1879?] My dear Martha Your welcome letter was duly received and much appreciated, since then I have had letters from Anna Donald & Mary informing me of the sad & unexpected death of of dear Ellen. What an unexpected and terrible blow to you all it shows dear Martha how uncertain life is & shows the importance of leading a better life than is usually done - I have felt dull ever since and am not in the mood for writing a long letter, so you will excuse the --evity [brevity?] of of this. I have to write Anna & Mary - but my next to you will be longer, be a good girl & be a comfort to your Father & Mother in their sorrow - & be all of you kind one to the others, and when an event such as this occurs those that are left have pleasant reflections, Kiss all for me & believe me dear Martha Your affectionate uncle C.K.
