DEAR MRS KENNEDY
NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO FILLED WITH REVULSION, ANGER, AND SORROW, AS WHEN I HEARD OF YOUR HUSBAND'S DEATH.
ON THIS GREAT AND GOOD MAN WERE SET THE HOPES OF HUMANITY. THE GRIEF AND LOSS MUST BE UNSPEAKABLE FOR YOU, WHO HAVE STOOD BY HIM FOR SO MANY YEARS, AND WHO WERE AT HIS SIDE WHEN HE WAS STRUCK DOWN. NOTHING CAN BE OF CONSOLATION TO YOU AT THIS TIME. BUT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, AND IN ENGLAND ESPECIALLY, ALL MEN WHO PRIZE FREEDOM AND HOPE FOR PEACE SHARE YOUR LOSS AND PARTAKE OF YOUR GRIEF...
WINSTON S. CHURCHILL
