Additional Details

"You were very kind and thoughtful to send me your expressions of sympathy. Your beautiful wire was a great comfort to me. And when I showed it to my father he asked if he could keep it and he put it in a sort of special pocket in his coat. I know that he will look at that wire many times from now on. I am very grateful to you."
