Boulogne Feb 11 Dearest Father. I'm very sorry about Uncle Walter. It's a happy way of ending it for him but I know Aunt Florence will feel it terribly. I've just written to her. And it will fall heavily on you too, all the arrangements and grief at her sorrow. One doesn't want any additional burdens now.
This is just a word to send you my love. Your affectionate daughter Gertrude
