Dear Mr. and Mrs. Taplin,

I must write to tell you how deeply distressed we are to hear the bad news that Johnnie is missing. As you know, everyone in the office is very fond indeed of him and although he has been away for sometime now, we always think of him as one of us.

Please accept our deepest sympathy in such a trying time, and we do sincerely hope that you will soon hear that he has been taken prisoner and is safe and well.

Yours sincerely,

[signature]

MR. & MRS. TAPLIN,
12, WHITESMEAD ROAD,
STEVENAGE,
HERTS.
