Mrs. Leon Stanhope

Box 56

Harper, Texas

December 24, 1916

My Dear Mrs. Stanhope,

I regret to inform you that your son, Travis Lee Stanhope, expired of battle wounds yesterday. I did not know him well, but I have heard that he was a brave lad and acquitted himself well during the campaign. You should have been proud of him.

He was sitting in his dugout when a gas shell hit. It may be some consolation for you to know that he bore his injuries with extraordinary courage and with little complaint. All in all, he did not suffer long.

Enclosed please find his effects along with a stack of personal papers which were found in his haversack.

My deepest sympathies,

Roger Dayton Gilchrist, Captain, B.E.F.
