Dated Sept 14, 1905 7:30 AM, Millville, New Jersey, Addressed to: Thos N Hollingsworth, Baltimore, Md, Westport
The top portion of the first page has been torn away, but goes on to say:
your welcome letter this moment to hand and I am very glad to hear of you all being well and that you start to work next Monday. Yes it is a very long stop and it is very hard for those who have families to be idlel so long as the expenses are always the same work or no work and it requires a man with such grave cares to be careful as to how he lives and how he spends.
I am glad to hear of you getting the money all right also to hear that my daughter Lucy is doing well and in good health. Also glad to hear that your daughter Frances is improving and hope and pray that she may grain stronger every day. And I am glad to hear of my son James and his wife been well. Now Thomas I know daughter (sic) by this time you have seen your sister Martha who is now trying to better her condition in a new place of work and to make a new home for herself.
I have talked the matter over with Martha and did advise her what to do and I hope that you will render to her all the help you can as I am very anxious to see Lunch and her do well and as long as they try to get ahead I shall give to them proper assistance and help them in every way.
I should like very much to impress upon your mind that I hold no hard feelings against Lucy or Martha the past as you and I have them just as good as ever. I am hoping you as their Brother will do the same. We are all on the same path that mother has passed through and it behooves us all to do the best we can for each other. You can read this letter to James and I will close with god's blessings upon you all. Father
Directions to approximate location of Hollingsworth graves in Mt Olivet Cemetery, Baltimore. When you go in the stone entrance, follow the road to the right until it starts to bend to the left. The graves have flat stone markers and are not too far from the road, maybe 30 feet. (Been years I regret to say since I have been there. Tom) I had visited many, many times over the years and each time had a difficult time finding the graves.
1163. Francis Hollingsworth
I was told she fell down a flight of steps and died. Francis must have had a very sad life, not sure if a childhood illness or birth defect, but she suffered from a debilitating illness that effected her nervous system from early childhood.
Francis did marry, her husband's name is not known to me because my father did not take me around to see her. She and her husband lived in the neighborhood of Holland Street Market, on the west side of Baltimore City. I understand her sisters Ruth and Ella did do whatever they could to help her through the years, but as far as I know my father did very little for his sister Francis. So sad.
