Dear Elsam family
Jane, Catharine and Hugh and families:

Our sincere sympathy in the passing of your Mom and Grandma. She was a lovely lady who was very kind and thoughful to me and I always looked forwarded to weekend visits on Gloucester Pool when the Elsam family was up to their cottage and also staying at the beautiful Elsam home when the Toronto Exhibition was on in the city.

Sincerely Mary Anne (Robinson) Smitham
