Transcription
The closing leaf of a handwritten letter in dark ink. The hand is loose and looped. At the foot of the sheet the writer has added the addressee’s name and city, as if it were the outside fold of the letter sheet.
existed between Mr. FitzSimons and some of my relatives and friends always made me feel more intimate with him than our personal intercourse may have justified, and in some way I had the impression that he had the same feeling towards me. It is sad to think that another has passed this year of a type that succeeding generations cannot reproduce.
Yours sincerely,
Walter B. Hammond
To Miss Ellen K. FitzSimons Charleston S.C.
