Mr Scofield You will receive this by your good wife who has watched at in the bedside, many days and nights with indiscribable interest and solicitude, of your afflicted son. and now it seems to be her painful duty to con vey to you and your whole family circle, his lifeless remains. I have sincere sympahty for all the loved ones who live to suffer this terrible bereavement. I have visited Guy daily and often twice a day ever since he has been in the hospital. He was greatly blessed of his father God. and you may rest assured while you sustain a loss he has realized infinite gain. your friend John F. Wright U.S.A P.S. Since writing the forego ing I find the time of his departure is omitted. He sweetly fell asleep in Jesus a few minutes before 10 oClock last night the 27 our thanksgiving [day?]. He gradually sank in death He was not only ready and willing to go, but even anxious to depart and be with Christ which was, to him, far better. He was an amiable sweet spirited youth and through the riches of grace he passed away most triumphantly. John F. Wright Chaplain U.S. A.
