March 14 - 1928
My dear Alys -

I am sending you the picture of
My sainted sister as you asked me to do - I
prize it very highly as she was not only
my sister but my Godmother. I never
saw her after she left – for Europe since I
was a baby – but every one said she was a
great – beauty – You are the only one I would
trust my beautiful picture with – for I know
it will be safe with you and Bruce – sister
Fannie was married when she was just – 17 years
old , & died at 21 years old of T.B. in Pau
France, she was presented at court in England
& said to have been the prettiest lady ____ - Your
Aunt Edith visited her Tomb in Pau on one of
Her visits- to Europe- & placed flowers on the tomb
And said a little prayer – with love
Affectionately
Aunt- Florence-
