Scope and Contents:
Handwritten letter from Beatrix Farrand to Mildred Bliss tells her of the grief she is feeling over Max Farrand's death and the inability to talk to even those close to her. She reports the "little funeral" will have rare Chinese rhododendrons in the two vases given to her by Mildred and Robert Bliss on Beatrix and Max Farrand's 25th anniversary. She feels she has hurt Mildred by not having her come to Reef Point and asks her for forgiveness.
