Dear Professor,

We have to condole with each other over the latest sad news.  It can unfortunately«FN1.××The "un" is crossed out and underscored with "...".» no longer be said that the event is a blow to the movement itself, but I am sure the shock will have revived in you ‑‑ as it did in me ‑‑ the memory of many happy days in the past and the thought of an inspiring figure whom we all loved so much.  I am more glad than ever that I succeeded at the last Congress in keeping him within our circle.  Your work is now so disseminated over all the world that nothing can prevent its ultimate progress, and in England we have an Institute and a body of workers which would seem to be as firmly based as anything can be in this unpredictable world.

With my warmest sympathy to you,  Yours always affectionately  Ernest Jones
