Dear Mrs. Evans,
We have received an enquiry on your behalf through the Staffordshire Branch of the British Red Cross Society of your son, Flying Officer A. Evans No. 157299.
We are sorry to tell you that no information has been received about him up to the present, but all possible enquiries are being made. Any news which may be forthcoming from the International Red Cross Committee at Geneva or from any other source, will be passed to you immediately. As your son’s wife is his registered next-of-kin, her first notification will come from the Air Ministry, but we will write to you as well.
Yours sincerely,
[signature]
Chairman.
Mrs. Evans,

Jamesbridge,
Wednesbury, Staffs.
