Only yesterday I was aware of your address. I write only a line to ask
you to accept my deep and sincere sympathy in the loss you have
sustained. You indeed have given to the Country of your best, and if
there is any consolation it may be in the fact that my old friend died
as every soldier would wish to, at the head of his battalion in a
successful action.
Trusting you and the children are well.
Yours ever sincerely,
C.N. MACREADY.
