In Hospital, Sussex.
Dear Mrs Thompson, & Family,
I have heard the sad news from home of poor Joe, and I wish to tell you all how awfully sorry I am, and to extend to you all my heartfelt sympathy - not that it is much use to you in your sad loss. But I pray God will comfort all of you in your bereavement.
I don't think anyone in the Battalion knew Joe as well as I did. I had a letter from him about three weeks ago, and he spoke about having it hot after I left on 3rd July but he said they were having a good long rest at the time of writing. I remember well the morning of 3rd July when I was wounded. Joe came up while they were bandaging my foot, and he shook hands and wished me the best of luck. Little did I think I'd never see him more.
Well I may only add to your grief by writing so I will conclude. Again hoping that God will comfort you all.
I remain, Yours very sincerely Wilson Graham.
