                <p>Little did I think when I called at <placeName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#BristoStreet">Bristo
                        St.</placeName> about six weeks ago – &amp; found you away: that
                    this sad news would be the next I should have from you.</p>
                <p>Most deeply do I feel for your loss of that good warm tender heart – for so I am
                    sure it must have been. – All I knew of him – &amp; that brief sight of him –
                    will now take a special sanctity. – Do not sorrow “without hope” – think of your
                    little child – a part of him – to bring up for him. – </p>
                <p> Write to me when you can bear to do it. – &amp; believe me – with deepest
                    sympathy,</p>
                <closer>Yours most sincerely,<lb/>
