TRANSCRIPT

Dear Mrs Aylen -
Just a short note to tell you how deeply I sympathise with you in the great loss you have sustained. I have been in the same Battery with Keith from the time of our arrival in France till his death, and considered him a very dear friend. He was always full of good humor and kindness and willingness to work or to help everyone else, and I am sure his ways and his life did a great deal of good to his men and fellow officers.

Of his bravery, there was never any question and he died like a man at his post. I can never tell you how much he will be missed by us, but I can assure you that his memory will be fondly cherished by all who were ever in contact with him at the front. If there is anything I can possibly do for you or any information I can give I will be only too pleased to do so.

Yours very sincerely,

Chas. B. Grier
Lieut.
