My Dear Sister (Mrs. Al E. Wright/Elizabeth Ann Steele Wright) Temporarily residing at her
son's, John Wright, 1306 Rhode Island Avenue, Washington, DC:
I received this morning a from M... Harrison
the Newark Daily Advertiser from which I cut the enclosed slip...she is the
last one of that family of ten who all lived to grow up, marry and raise
families but Aunt Matilda. The dear old aunt is gone, but she will live long
in the memory of all her nieces and nephews--but as all are ready to drive
down to Lizzie's for dinner must close. Love to you all. Yours truly,
Marshfield Steele
