Madam,
I am commanded by the Air Council to state that in view of the lapse of time and the absence of any further news regarding your son, 1067053 Sergeant W.

The Council desire me to express again their sympathy with you in the anxiety which you have suffered, and in your bereavement.
I am, Madam,
Your obedient Servant,
