Dear Mrs. Kirke,

I wanted to write to express my deep condolences for your brother. I saw the news about the tragic event and am terribly sorry for your lose. I can hardly bare the thought of losing one of my sisters, I can't imagine how keenly the loss of a sibling must feel.

I know it will go no further toward filling the void, but I hope the book I have attached will distract you enough to give some comfort.

Most sincerely,
Mr. P. Adlard, Jr. Elsie Kirke

Mr. Adlard,

Thank you for your letter. We are all still quite in shock. I have most unfortunately lost two brothers unexpectedly and it does not get any easier. Your book will be a welcome distraction, thank you. I hope all is well with you and Mrs. Adlard.

Fondly,
Mrs. E. Kirke
