Dear Robert,
It was with sincere regret that I read in todays Telegraph the notice about Hedley and I felt that I must drop you a line.
At a time like this I’m afraid that words fail me to express my thoughts, but I do trust that you will have good news very soon.
We had a similar case here at the office when one of our staff heard from her sister that she had received news that her husband
[page break]
was missing after operations over Italy, then in a fortnights time they had news he was safe.
You may remember the case of a Halifax crew being pick up in the Mediterranean after being nine days afloat well he was one of them. So there is always hope and I see in this mornings paper that a certain number of bombers have come down in Sweden, so let’s hope there is a chance in that [indecipherable 2 words] you will know he is safe.
Well Robert I do hope for the best and shall be pleased to have any news
With kind regards
Yours very sincerely
E. Lees
