1922 May 12 Matilda Vince to Alice

Sadly, these letters are often filled with news of illness or death. This was sent regarding the death of William Vince (1865-1922) at age 56. From our family tree on Ancestry.com - I can see he was a butcher by trade at W. Vince & Sons that had three locations in England. I believe this letter from Matilda, was Louisa Matilda, who I later knew as Tilly.
