My dear Philip,1
The news is a terrible blow and I feel stunned. I can imagine how dreadful it must be for you. A great part of my life, stretching back into childhood, is gone dead with her. I do not know anything consoling to say. I find that her gay courage, perhaps more than anything else, remains in my mind.
Please believe in my very deep sympathy.
Yours
Russell.
