I feel that I must send one line to say how deeply grieved I was to
hear your husband had been killed at the front. I knew him as a most
excellent sportsman, and mourn his loss very much. My deep sympathy is
with you at this sad time when your home is made desolate.
Please do not think of answering this.
I remain,
Yours sincerely,
MANVERS.
