There are no words that I could put to paper that would adequately explain how your words affected me. You and your family have been through so much and my heart aches at this latest news. I shall pray for his recovery..

Please do not apologize on my behalf, I am here for you when you need a moment to think on other matters or dwell on such thoughts as may be difficult in withholding in times such as these.

Please do let me know if anything changes, I shall await your next letter anxiously, not only for news of Wallace, but also of yourself, and your parents and brothers. I do hope that there may be some solace for all of you soon.
