Letter, Raoul P. Montague to Mrs. Conole

[page 1]
17 June, 1954

Dear Mrs. Conole,
I received your letter today
and I cannot begin to tell you
of what a shock it is to learn
of the news of Irene as I
know it was to you and believe
me in this time of sorrow I
wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
However let us remember that in
times like these that one must
have faith in the Lord and that
his is the divine will.
Irene and I were very close friends
and I liked and respected her a
great deal as I feel everyone did
that knew her and she was a
great credit to both her family and

her uniform. I find it hard to
believe that she is gone but I
know that she will always live in
my memory as the Irene I know.
If there is anyway I can be of
service to you please feel free to
call on me and so I shall remain –
Yours With Kindest Regards
Raoul P Monatgue
