Beaumont Boggs Esq

Dear Sir

I wish to express my sympathy to yourself and family in the loss of your beloved Son, who lost his life in so Glourious a Cause. That is one consolation you have in the loss, and the hope to meet him in the Better World to come where there is no strife

Yours Truly
G.F. Wood

P.S. You will remember me as a boy at Brown and Webb’s Halifax N.S. It does not seem long since I went to see you off to the Riel rebellion.
