I received your very sad news about two weeks ago it was the first I heard so I send you my deepest sympathy its late but none the less sincere my heart goes out to you in your great sorrow I wish I was beside you for I feel that your grief is mine you stayed with me in our great loss and I will never forget your kindness to us ast that time I feel for all of you from the bottom of my heart no one knows what it is till the go through it just feels as if your sense's was numbed the war seems awful as it never did before when it comes home in the loss of a beloved boy it was kind of the ministers of the cabinet to send words of sympathy but to them it is one among the others to you its your boy.
