Letter written to Mrs. Robert Warnica (née Jean Loudon) on the passing of her husband, William Robert Warnica. The letter reads: "Mrs. Robert Warnica Painswick P.O. Ont. Dear Mrs. Warnica, We received a message last Sat night that Bob had passed away. While we all expected it and perhaps his death was a relief in that he must have suffered a great deal, yet I regret his passing. Bob [?] kind in heart, and honest. It is true that he had a characteristic mode of expressing his ideas, but his intentions were good. He and his father and mother before him were always kind to us when we were young and scarcely knew where the next meal was coming from. Many a time Bob left us something for Christmas when no one else thought of us. And now that I do not have to worry so much about meals, I always remembered the the very best side of him. I just wish to express my regrets at your loss and your being left alone. I regret also that I could not get up for the funeral as we are very busy with classes. I would like to see a nice write-up put in the Barrie papers - his age, his connection deserves it. I will see you some time when I am up. Yours sincerely, R.O. Hurst"
