Letter describing the death of a sister, Grace, due to blood poisoning. The letter is from a niece of Mary van Gorkum, Frank Sr.'s wife. Mary's sister, Sophia, moved to California and Oregon with her husband and eight children, Emma being one of them. This may have been the last letter the LeCocqs ever received from them, as their whereabouts became lost.
