He had been up most of the night. A splinter of a shell came through the window of the room he was in, and killed him instantaneously. We all deplore his loss. We have always been a happy and merry family, and he was one of the merriest. Always cheerful, willing to do anything and everything at a moment’s notice, and never down-hearted no matter what work had to be done. In him I lose a very capable officer and a great friend. May I sympathize with you in your great loss.” |
