This letter was folded up inside the envelope in a box of negatives in Henry's big film trunk.
It has become my painful task to notify you that Esperanza in consequence of the complicated operation she went through three years ago and after much suffering which she bravely faced has died.
Only the few persons who knew her well, and you have been one of them, can realize how much poorer this world has turned with Esperanza gone.
You have my sympathy.
Sincerely,
Hal Croves
