Evelyn Hurt begins the letter by stating it is the most difficult one she has ever written, and she is deeply shaken by Eugene Williams' death. She congratulates Cordelia for being the mother of such a great son, saying that Eugene called Cordelia his "sweetheart" and spoke of her often. She says they called Eugene "Flaps" and that everyone loved to be around him. She asks Cordelia to let her know when the services will be, because her and Wesley will come to Roanoke. She finishes by saying that Wesley will be writing as soon as he is emotionally able because the two were "just like brothers," and to take care. She signs off "Sorrowfully yours."
