Saturday

My dear sisters,

If there is anything I can do to help just let me know and I will do it.  Will will have told you that I would have come with him only it seemed best for me to stay here.  I wish you could come back with him.  The children heard me say something about it and were so pleased at the idea of seeing you.

Do not grieve too much - so many people do not have their mother for as many years as we have done and there is much to be grateful for even in this time of stress.  She did not suffer long, for she was very well while she was with us and enjoyed seeing around Atlanta.

We all send our love to you + you know you have my sympathy, and I hope to be able to express it by doing something for you all.

Lovingly yours,

Kathleen.

1.
This letter was enclosed in Kathleen's 5/10 letter Will:
2.
I wish you could come back with him.  The children heard me say something about it and were so pleased at the idea of seeing you.
Kathleen had suggested to Will that Alma, Laura, and Eva come back to Atlanta with him in her letter to Will the day before: Be sure to tell the girls to come here as soon as they can + I will do anything I can for them.

3.
Do not grieve too much - so many people do not have their mother for as many years as we have done and there is much to be grateful for even in this time of stress.
My mother died at the ripe old age of 88, older than Mama Margaret was (79) when she died.  I was 56, older than Alma, Laura, or Eva at the time of Mama Margaret's death.  My mother's death still hurt.  I grieved.  And I would not have wanted to be told not to grieve.

4.
A later note: When I read a letter from Kathleen's brother Cecil saying the death of a young man in his twenties was not such a tragedy, I was reminded of this letter of Kathleen's.
