Petrie writes this letter in the wake of her father's death, and notes that in early december her father's health began to decline. She mentions that he only was bedridden six days before his death. She also mentions Dr. Stokes attending her father. She writes that he did not suffer and passed quietly. Petrie shares with Allingham that her father cared deeply for him and held him in very high esteem. Mary writes that Dr. Stokes, the Earl of Dunraven, and Dean Graves have taken her father's papers in hopes of having some of his works published posthumously.
