　　Dear Aunt Mary ,

　　Jane and I were very sorry to hear that Uncle John died last Thursday. Mother and father stayed with us Last Saturday and Sunday, and they told us the sad news. We knew Uncle John was not well, of course, and the cold weather during the past few weeks did not help him to get better, but the news came as a surprise , all the same.

　　We were most unhappy that we could not come and see you both ten days ago , on Uncle John's birthday. Mother told me that he was his old self , laughing and full of life. This is how , I am sure , Jane and I will always remember him. He was a good man and he was never too busy to read to us, play with us and listen to our stories when we were young. He was the kind of uncle every child loves to have.

　　We shall be at the church (教堂) next Friday, and of course we hope to see you again at Christmas , with all the others of the family.

　　With love and best wishes.

Yours ,

Robert and Jane
