My dear Jack

      It is really very sad news that you have lost your dear father. I knew your father had been suffering from some illness, but tot my knowledge; the illness was not so serious as to prove fatal.

       I know you must be feeling dejected because you always thought so highly of your father and loved him very much. I also feel it as a personal loss to myself. He was very kind and friendly to me as well. He always advised and cared for me as his real son. He was indeed a noble and kind hearted fellow.

Words, I know, can’t make up for the immense loss. May God give your strength to bear this loss.

Yours sincerely
John
