Losing a son so young but having a letter that let her know he was thinking of her and loved her so during such a time in his life.<br /><br />I read the letter from the copy you have posted, then saw where you had typed it out underneath. I was able to make out all of it from the original, it has been cared for well. It is a great reminder of the outcome of many of our soldiers in war and makes us remember to be thankful for their willingness to go to battle for us.
