Dear Mr & Mrs Johns-

I have just heard with the deepest regret of the death of your Soldier Son. Earl was one of the best in my old Coy a splendid Soldier in every sense of the word, and was not only a credit to his family, but to the Township from which he enlisted. Let me assure you that the sympathy of all the officers & men of his old Bn the 161st Hurons is extended to you & your family in your loss.

Yours very Sincerely
W.J Heaman Major
