    Lt 114, 1908

    Irwin, Brother and Sister [G. A.]

    St. Helena, California

    April 15, 1908

    Previously unpublished.

    Elder and Mrs. G. A. Irwin
    Takoma Park Station, Washington, D.C.

    Dear Brother and Sister Irwin:

    A few days ago I wrote two letters to Brother and Sister Kress; but at that time I did not understand that it was Sister Irwin who was running the elevator at the time of the sad accident. It may seem a little strange to you that the one who needed the words of encouragement and comfort I wrote was not mentioned. I trust that you, Sister Irwin, will forgive this seeming oversight.23LtMs, Lt 114, 1908, par. 1

    I wish now to express to you both my deep sympathy. I pray that the Lord may give to Sister Irwin His consolation. I know how deeply such a circumstance would grieve your tender mind and sympathetic heart; but all that you can do is to leave the case with the Lord. He understands, and He can comfort those who are closely related to the one who has lost her life. If you see them, tell them that we all sympathize deeply with them; and we pray that the Lord will help them to bear this grief. All we can do is to feel deeply sorry for them, and pray that the Lord will help them to carry their grief to Him in prayer. He can move upon the hearts of the afflicted. And we also must cling to the Lord and trust in Him.23LtMs, Lt 114, 1908, par. 2
