My dearest Jane. I'm writing to you
with the heaviest of hearts. Last night our Charlie took his own life. Harold had warned me that
the men were close to breaking, but I wouldn't see it. I should have seen it. He had just received a letter
from Margaret Parish. It seems Ned had finally come home, and so she had called off their love affair. It's heartbreaking, what love can do, more powerful than anything
over here I could honestly say. Would you tell Charlie's mother
he died honourably? It would be much better coming
from you than a stranger in uniform. It's the least he deserves. Oh no, no
