From the minutes of the March 1901 meeting of the executive:
"The committee of the PWMU have instructed me to offer their deepest sympathy with you and your family in the sorrow which has fallen upon you in the death of your beloved daughter, a sorrow in which they share.
It seems but as yesterday that she stood among them so bright and full of hope to go out to the work so dear to her heart. How little did they think when they said good-bye that it was farewell - "Early death is early glory" to the young Christian, let this thought be your comfort.
To you it is sorrowing, yet always rejoicing while you mourn your beloved taken away at the threshold of her work, and your hearts bleed for your bereavement, the pain will pass away, but the sure hope that your dear daughter now enjoys happiness unspeakable will not pass away.
Commending you and yours to the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am yours affectionately, Jane Macdonald."
