My dear John,

Very many thanks for your
letter, and for all it says - so beautifully,
so truly, and with so much comfort. What
a revelation we have had in the past weeks
of the sympathy and love with which we are
surrounded! What strength and comfort we
have had from it! I have had such kind
letters also from your dear brother and sister,
which I hope to answer soon - I think
we must have a thousand letters, many of
them most touching, all of them most kind.

Yours alone I sent on straight to Margaret
where she is with her mother until Monday, because
I know she would love it; the more so
that your books gave such pleasure to her wee
