Supreme Court. 

 Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 21, 1916. 



I have just learned of your great bereave- 

 ment. I know quite well how devoted you 

 were to each other ; how bitter the sorrow and 

 poignant the grief must be when the tie that 

 has so long bound you together in loving com- 

 panionship was severed. 



With my cordial and best wishes, 

 Yours sincerely, 



Platt D. Walker. 



Chapel Hill, N. C, Feb. 25, 1916. 



The greatest of your wife's gifts to others 

 was the loving gift of self, and this she gave 

 unstintingly and unsparingly, even to the in- 

 jury of health and strength. We could see 

 this when we visited your home, and we loved 

 her for it. There is nothing greater or more 

 lovely. 



Your friend, 



Francis P. Venable. 



Chapel Hill, N. C, Feb. 18, 1916. 

 No words can tell you of my grief and 

 sympathy. May this note assure you of the 

 constancy of my thoughts and prayers for you. 

 Affectionately, 



J. G. de Roulhac Hamilton.
