Letter to Henry Barton Jacobs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Announces the death of Revere. Repeats that he knew it would come, the Fates have hit him hard at last. Compassion. Revere is at peace, out of the hell of a war he loathed. Only his love for his parents and his sense of duty took him among the combatants, as everything about war revolted him. Glad that he was happier at last and has been devoted to his men whom he admired. Osler's great consolation is that Cushing was with Revere at the end. Has no details except the wire from Cushing at 4:30 and the phone call from the War Office at 9:00 PM with a message from Stoggett. They are heart broken. Mentions his relationship with his son. Details about Revere's tastes. Few fathers can say they never spoke a cross word to a son, but he never had occasion to. Blessing for their sympathy. Glad that Susan Chapin is here.

Letter to Mabel Brewster from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Cushing has wired them this afternoon that Revere was dangerously wounded and this evening the War Office telephoned that he had died at 12. Explains that they have been preparing for the blow. Osler was sure the fates would hit him through Revere. He has escaped all these years without a great sorrow, and has had so much in life, so much more, than he deserved that he has all along felt they could not escape. Describes his relationship with his son. Compassion for Grace. They are going to be brave. Recollects the nursery in Baltimore. Civilities. Mentions that it is a mercy for them that Cushing was with Revere, as they were friends.
