My dear Mrs Wynn,
I am writing to express with you my very deep sympathy at this time. The news that your dear husband is reported missing from Operations will have dealt you a grievous blow. I want to assure you of my Prayers and of the kindly thought [sic] and remembrance of the whole Squadron.
We pray that you may be sustained as you wait and hope for good [deleted] g [/deleted] news which, we trust, may reach you. But above all else, and whatever may be, we must try and look to God and rest ourselves in His Devine [sic] Will. We must keep our faith strong in a better life and a better world.
I do commend you to God’s good and holy care and pray that His Spirit may comfort you in your present sore trial. Should there be anything that I can do to help you please let me know
Yours Very Sincerely
Percy Anderson
