216 West Regent Street, Glasgow, 22nd February, 1928. My dear friend, the Rev. N. Macintyre told me last night that you have been bereft of your partner in life which is a great loss to you in your old age. I desire to express my deepest sympathy with you in your sorrow. May the Lord comfort you with the strong consolations, fellowship of the Spirit, and bowels of compassion that are in Christ Jesus. He can make up by His own presence every breach He makes by the removal from us of such as were dearest and nearest to us in the world. He has not promised to leave with you to the end of your days wife, or children, or friends but He has promised you: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
I feel much the sudden removal of Mr. Alexander Matheson, Portree. He was truly a God-fearing and faithful man. “Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth, and the faithful fail from among the children of men.” With sincere sympathy and kindest regards, your friend in your sorrow, Neil Cameron.
