A letter written by Frank to Gertrude informing her of the death of Kate who is to be buried in Racine County, Wisconsin. Kate is believed to be Franklin Butler Van Valkenburgh's sister Catherine. It is unclear the relationship and identity of Getty and Frank because each name occurs twice in the letter. It appears as if the top of the letter may have been cut off as the top of the first line is missing. Written on the back of the letter in pencil is "Higgins House Racine." Gertrude is referred to as Getty in this letter.
