14. vii. 21.

Dear Sir,

After having read your memoir on the Grenfells I cannot resist writing to thank you for the great privilege you have given us - the outside Public.

your book has made me feel as if I had once known them. As I read I seemed to live alongside them as a silent intimate spectator and according to my visualisation I dont think I shall ever forget them.

I certainly mean to make

all my friends read the book as if nothing else it proves so convincingly what a noble thing life can be. The close unity which existed between the two brothers is to my mind their most precious quality and is the key to their

eternal youth.

Such a brotherhood would have shone in any age. Please excuse this effusive letter from an 'extra mural' person but the tonic of the book has given me so much happiness I've just had to write & thank you for it.

My only brother was also killed in the war and the memoir has helped me to treasure his memory all the more

I am, Sir, yours sincerely

J.D. Steele
