TEL. 2112. “KISTOR,”
11, HILL CREST AVENUE,
MARKET HARBOROUGH.
27th August 1944
Dear Mrs Wareing,
Thank you very much for your letter, which I was pleased receive a short time ago. I am sorry I did not answer it before, but I am afraid private letters have to be left.
I have only just heard the sad news that your husband is “missing”. I do not know how to express our
[page break]
Sympathy to you, for I know you must be feeling very sad & lonely. But I do want you to know that your friends are thinking about you, and “feeling” for you.
Yes, these are sad and worrying days for many people. My boy is out in Normandy, and I can assure you he is in my thoughts night and day. I do not like to think of these boys having no cover either night or day, wet or fine, and I think it is awful for them to have to sleep in the open fields, with no protection even in a thunderstorm.
Well! Please accept our sympathy in your sad time. Yours sincerely G. Gouter.
