He had not been well lately but we thought it was nothing serious, he went to a nursing home on Monday & died in his sleep early this morning, it was heart of course. He will be a great loss to me in many ways besides having been an old friend of 32 years standing. We were all very fond of him & he was the nicest Frenchman I ever knew. Believe me / my dear David / very sincerely yours / George''. 2pp. letter on a single sheet of card-style stationery measures 4.5'' x 7''. Toning, else near fine.
