Thanks Sears for his "affectionate condolance on the subject of our affliction." This is in reference to death of his son Marcus (see GLC02437.05152 and .05162). Says they both feel it too sensibly, but that Lucy Knox feels it particularly as "former wounds are opened afresh on this event and occasion a pressure of grief almost too much for human nature."
