'Dear Miss Day,
I feel I must send my belated but sincere thanks for your kind letter of sympathy on the death of my father, from your staff and yourself, which i much appreciated.
Owing to the (?) numbers of letters I have received, it has taken me a very long time to answer them all!
It has been greatly strengthening to us to know that so many people have been thinking of us and sharing our sorrow.
Yours sincerely
Elizabeth R'
