My dear LucyYou were very kind to write the note of love & sympathy to me. I think now the bond between us will be a little closer since the experiences we have just passed through. We have received many loving words and messages but none better appreciated than your's. [sic]
Mother joins me in sending love to you all
Very sincerely yours
