Mr. W. C. Missimer, District Manager
National Life Insurance Company of Vermont
916 Poplar Street
Erie, Pennsylvania
Dear Mr. Missimer:
Your letter fills me with embarrassment, as well as sadness.
When I last wrote you in June I thought Miss Keil's days were really
numbered. But we did not hear through our New York chapter of her
death.
It almost seems that the hand of fate arranged the date that she
should depart. And, faithful to the end, your sister certainly exempli-
fied a rare and beautiful friendship. I know she must be very tired
after so long a vigil, but I also know that she would not have had it
otherwise. Please convey to her our very deep sympathy. You and your
family have been so close to Miss Keil that you also feel her loss
deeply.
Am so glad that you found additional material that will provide
even more events of historical interest. You have been so kind to
keep us posted on the progress, and I am afraid you have spoiled us
a bit, to the point that we would be unhappy if we did not hear now
and then.
With all good wishes, and our sympathy to you, your family, and
Miss Missimer in your loss of this noble woman.
Sincerely,
Virginia B. Elliman
Director, Disaster Nursing
and Nurse Enrollment
