My Dear Pastor.
Your kind heart will sympathise with me for I am in great distress! The intense heat we have recently experienced, has so seriously exhausted my loved Aunt's strength, that I see it declines daily--& she is nearly 84 years of age!
She may linger for weeks & she may die any hour.
21. yrs ago you buried my Mother! 14. yrs since you were kind to me, when I became Fatherless! Now, I ask you to come when I need you, & perform the last services for the last one very near to me? I will of course defray your expenses & telegraph you (in case of her death) the time of her funeral.
Will you obtain Mr Hart's sanction to this? & write me if I may depend upon it? You would not be absent but one day—leave P. at night reach here in the morn-ing & return home that evg. I hope all your family are quite well, & that I may, as usual, attend our synagogue on our Fall Festivals. Pray, that I may meet this latest & great trial, with fortitude.
Yrs, Very Resptly
Josephine Etting.
