Letter - 14th November 1916
"Dear Mrs Ellis,
Your letter asking for news of your son reached me. It is with great regret that I am unable to give you any further news.
Ellis has been missing since July 13th and nothing further has been heard of him. I am very much afraid that he was killed on that date with many other brave fellows. He was an awfully good fellow and I miss him greatly"
