'Believe me, we share in your great sorrow, and the regiment he loved
so well will miss him greatly, for everyone loved and respected
him--not alone for his great talents as a soldier, or for his
bravery, but for his lovableness, and great striving after the Right.
I personally feel as if I had lost a brother that can never be
replaced, but it is some consolation to you and all of us, to know
that he died, as he had lived--a very perfect Knight--for his Country
and in the cause of Righteousness and Truth.'
