Scope and content
Beaton's kind words of understanding touched her deeply. It is impossible to describe her pain after 53 years of close companionship. Is praying for the strength to carry on. Wishes Beaton could meet her twin grandsons. Wishes she could come and visit him. Thanks him for writing to her at the "saddest time in my life".
