Wij lazen tot onze diepe droefheid dat de Jonge vrouw van D. Van Maanen is overleden. Mrs. Van Maanen was ons zeer wel bekend als Miss Gertie Brunsting. [Zij] was een van onze wakkere, jonge Hollandsche vrouwen, waarop wij Hollanders terecht trotsch zijn. Wij treuren met de treurenden en wij hopen dat zij daar is waar geen droefheid meer heerscht en waar geen lijden meer is. Tot den diepbedroefden man en tot hare ouders roepen wij een: "Treur niet, gij zult haar eenmaal wedervinden" toe. "Droog uwe tranen en geloof in Hem, die alle wonden heelt, ook groote, als deze!"
