Queen Alexandra's
Letter to the Nation.
ROM the depth of my pcor 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 unspeakable 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 impossible 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.
(Signed) ALEXANDRA.
