Letter from James Lockwood to Mrs. Lawrence, May 28, 1919

In this letter dated May 28, 1919, Y.M.C.A. pastor James Lockwood writes to Mrs. Lawrence, describing his meeting with her son Burtis and his state of mind shortly before he died. Mrs. Lawrence had asked that whoever had last spoken with her son would write to her, and Mr. Lockwood is writing directly to her because his first letter, sent through the Red Cross, did not get sent. He assures the grieving mother that her son was at peace with God and was not in any pain or want.
