Queen Alexandre
I (rtter to the Nation
ROM the depth of my poor broken heart I wish to
express to the whole Nation, and our kind People we
love so well, my deep-felt thanks for all their touching
sympathy in my overwhelming sorrow and unspeak.
able anguish
Not alone have I lost everything in him, my beloved
husband, but the Nation too has suffered an irreparable loss
by their best friend, father, and Sovereign thus suddenly
called away.
May God give us all His Divine help to bear this
heaviest of crosses which He has seen fit to lay upon us
-"His will be done." Give me a thought in your prayers,
which will comfort and sustain me in all I still have to
go through
Let me take this opportunity of expressing my heart-felt
thanks for all the touching letters and tokens of sympathy
I have received from all classes, high and low, rich and
poor, which are so numerous that I fear it will be im.
possible for me ever to thank everybody individually.
I confide my dear son into your care, who, I know, will
follow in his dear father's footsteps, begging you to show him
the same loyalty and devotion you showed his dear father.
I know that both my dear son and daughter-in-law will
do their utmost to merit and keep it.
May 10, 1910.
