E. H. Duncan, Esq., Almonte, Ont.
Dear Mr. Duncan:
I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my sincere sympathy in connection with the death of your son Harold E. Duncan in this city on the 17th instant. I personally knew this young man as, in the course of his duties he called at my home daily and he was very, widely respected and liked by all those with whom he came into contact in the course of his business. The tragedy took place very close .to my own house and. everyone was shocked to hear of the outcome. Your son was of such a happy disposition that he endeared himself to all those with whom he came into contact and there are many citizens in Prince Albert today who feel that his untimely death was a real tragedy. To you and Mrs. Duncan I therefore extend my deepest sympathy and also that, of scores of citizens of this city.
Yours sincerely,
