Dearest Friend:
I certainly want
to tell you how much I
apperecate [appreciate] the letter you
sent my daughter Mrs Warren
you nore [nor] no one else
will ever know what a
dark spot is left in my
heart of that dear boy losing
his life over there.
He was only a son in law
but a very near and dear
son to me.
His leaving sure has
cause [caused] us many a sorrow
and will for ever.
And my dear child was
you with him when
he left this world
or not. I only wish I
could have been with
him.
His wife is married again
but shes not happy for
no one can ever take that
Boy or Robert D. Warren
place.
I most certainly appericate [appreciate]
your letter and wish that
I could only talk to you
instead of writting [writing].
It was a yr ago
March 6 he died.
I will close hoping you
will write again to us.
Mrs Kroll
