My dear Mrs. Laurie,
Only yesterday I was aware of your address. I write only a line to ask you to accept my deep and sincere sympathy in the loss you have sustained. You indeed have given to the Country of your best, and if there is any consolation it may be in the fact that my old friend died as every soldier would wish to, at the head of his battalion in a successful action.
Trusting you and the children are well.
Yours ever sincerely,
C.N. Macready.
