My Dear People

How can I write of this sad event? I never could understand why he should love me so devotedly. He says I was a good woman but I am no better than anyone else. How is it that all the best are taken first? A straighter or more honest man one would never find than your dear son. I am sure he was loved by all who knew him. The love your son gave to me will never be blotted out as it seemed too far above the ordinary kind of love so pure and clean. If he hadn’t have gone to France we would have been married the day before he was called.

My fond love,

your little girl that was to be

Alice Folkes
