This letter was written by Josephine after Ema's death.

Serena, there never was anyone ever grieved as I have. I loved my little one too well; that is why Gods taken her. I don't feel like I could ever love another one. All the love from my heart was buried with my little angel. If God had taken me with her I could have left them all. I always thought I loved all my children but I never loved one like I did her.
Serena, I never will get over it. It is as fresh to me now as the day she was buried. You talk of being poor. Don't grumble; if I had my little one back I would be willing to live outdoors and go half naked if that would bring her back. I have everything I want that money can buy, Serena. I have tried as hard to give her up as anybody but I cannot. I have prayed to the almighty father in heaven to help me but I am still the same. They tell me Gods taken her for some purpose, but is was to grieve me to death. I don't care for anything on earth, not even my children that are alive. God has punished me for something I never have done. I never have done any kind of meanness in my life and what he's taken her for I don't know.
