Dear Kath,
I received your two letters at noon today and I am afraid I cannot find words to express my feelings but you can guess what they are, if only I could say a few words of comfort to you as I know how you must feel.
We must pray that at the worst Ian is only a

prisoner and that he is safe and well and I pray you will soon hear from him so that you can have a little peace of mind.
If there is any way in which I can help you, you only have to let me know Kath and I will do everything possible as you know.
Write me a few lines as soon as you feel like it.
[corrected] Ever [/corrected] your friend.
Love to all
Bert
