Dear Mr & Mrs Riding,

I have been hoping to see you but these [indecipherable word] of leave etc. all fizzle out and it looks as though it will be some time yet so I thought I'd drop you a line to say how sorry I am to hear of your news of Ron. I'm sure nothing anyone can say will relieve your present anxiety – but perhaps it will help a little to know that we sympathise very deeply with you and await further news anxiously. May it not be long before you have better tidings.

Stuart wishes to join me in this too.

I hope you are both keeping as well as possible and that it won't be long before I see you again.

With love

Kathleen.
