Dear Mrs Gale

I meant to tell you I [no?] among so many of your friends – and those of your dear Ralph’s are thinking of you – and are truly sorrowing with you nothing I can say will really help but I know the sympathy of those who care – give a bit of comfort – We knew dear Ralph – and were sorry and proud when he left us to “[?] [?]” – It was his way to go on with a smile and jest always showing to the world a brave front and so he died – with never a [?] – God keep you all – surely our dear bright children are now “carrying on” – and will be there to greet us when God is ready –

My husband and Clifford (who went to sch with Ralph) join me in Loving sympathy to you all –
