Dear Fred,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your
mother was ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at
that time did not seem to think the illness was very serious, the news of your
mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt
sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for
you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it
also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me.
Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my
sincere sympathy.
Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in
such sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that
I feel with you in your sorrow.
Your sincere friend,
Jack
