A sympathy card from Arnold's friend's mother Vera Cummings. Carl Cummings' nickname was Bud.

Dolly's death seems to have turned both Hazel and Bill to their respective religions for comfort. Hazel is confident in her Presbyterian faith, and Bill, born and raised Catholic, may return to that church or explore the similar Episcopalian Church or even join his wife's church.

Hazel writes Arnold a few days after Dolly's funeral. She was buried in her wedding gown in Forest Lawn Cemetery, where eight years later, Arnold's first-born son will be buried (though eventually disinterred and moved to a cemetery in Florida to make run for Arnold's sister Laura in the 1990's).
The list of relatives mentioned in the letter include: Tony Nevis (Bill's brother), Tony's son Stanley Nevis and his wife Betty, Bill's sister Isabelle (Belle) Nevis Bettencourt, Bill's sister Mary Ann Nevis Silva, Bill's sister Della Nevis Gomes and her husband Henry, Hazel's brother Les Wolfe (Sr.) and his wife Lenore, and a number of Bill's nephews and nieces, including Amelia Gomes, Alvin Gomes, Alice Gomes, Laura Nevis Mello, Bob Mello, Jerry Mello, Laura Mello, Edwin Buddy Mello, Katherine (Catherine) Mello, Ray and Mary Gomes, and Hazel and Tom Batti. The others cited were Leonard's wife Pat's "Aunt Be" and "Uncle Dave" and neighbors Larry and Helen Gibney. The two businesses were Bill's company, the Ideal System Company and Wayne's Goss Cleaners.

Bill sends Arnold two telegrams. The first reinforces that Arnold should not make the trip west to go home for or after the funeral. The second lets him know the location of the mortuary home in Glendale.

This looks like a draft of a telegram Arnold might have sent when he received Leonard's telegram informing him of Dolly's death.

Hazel mistakes the date here: Tuesday was July 18, 1950. For reasons to become clear in a couple of posts, the letter could not have been written on the 20th.
