Copy Bateman's / Burwash / Sussex My dear. Words are so / useless now but you know / you have all my love & sympathy. / More than I can write. He was the / finest soul that ever breathed / in his humour and usefulness / and his courage. I'm / glad I realised that that afternoon / when he took me for a walk in / the woods & told me what / hw hoped for England - / and thats what makes it so bitter / for us who looked to him in the / future. Forgive me for troubling you / Ruddy June 13 1913 Dearest Guy, I am with you all / in deep love and sorrow - / and thankfulness that I / ever knew your blessed / home. I never thought to see / the circle broken before / I died - but its influence / (in ways none of you can / know yourselves) will go / on spreading - & others / will bless it in time to come. / Your always loving friend / G. Burne-Jones.
