Montreal April 8th 1872.
My dear Friend,
I have only just seen in the Jewish papers the sad intelligence of your great and irreparable loss. I can truly say that when I read it [Hebrew], for the shock was intensified by its unexpectedness [Hebrew]. For you, for your children is there great cause for grief; not for the [Hebrew] whose purified soul now shares the bliss of the [Hebrew]. I knew and heard quite enough of this true [Hebrew] to be appl able to fully appreciate the extent of your loss and the depth of your grief and of your bereaved children. But I am sure you will be
sustained in this your dark hour of trouble, dear friend, by the strength of your piety and your heartfelt conviction that He who has inflicted the blow is [Hebrew] and I am equally certain that your children have also been taught to recognise the wisdom and justice of God in the darkest hour of adversity as in the brightest moments of happiness. I have not the pleasure of being very intimately acquainted with your daughters but I am sure that in them you will find [Hebrew], your chief and best consolation. You will also have been but too frequently reminded during your ministry
of [Hebrew] not to feel ever how fragile are all earthly ties.
Mrs. De Sola who has not yet had the pleasure of making the personal acquaintance of any of your family desires to unite nevertheless in warmest sympathy with all of you, and begs to be kindly remembered with myself to Mr & Mrs Weil.
Farewell, dear friend, may you find comfort and support from its only true source the [Hebrew], prays Yours ever truly
Abraham de Sola
