Item 238: Letter from Mary Cryer mentioning Harriet Plank, dated 8 May 1916

21, Cleveland Road,
Lytham.

May 8th 1916

My Dear Mrs Prichard

We received Your Letter this morning, and Sincerely thank you for your kind message of Sympathy.

We deeply sympathize with you in the loss of your Dear Son.

Having passed through the same terrible experience. God alone is our only real comforter in these times of so much trouble.

It seems sometimes more than we can bear, almost in sight of Home and to be cut off without a moment’s warning.

We are very sorry we cannot help you, by giving you any names of Survivors.

We were very fortunate to find a Mrs Plank (Mrs Weston’s Mother) She occupied the same Cabin as my Dear Sister and her Boy. She came to see us, not long before She died, and told us about our dear ones, and that was a great comfort to us. I only wish I would tell you of someone who had know[n] your dear Son. I do hope God will sustain and strengthen you in your great loss.

With our deepest sympathy

Yours Sincerely
Mary Cryer
