Dear Mother,
It's been a year since they told me you died. We spent the day at a memorial service. Father was acting very sad, which he hasn't been most of the time. Maybe it was the ceremony. If I weren't getting your letters, I think I'd be sad, too. Nanny had to take Freddy out because he was making a scene. Inga was sad, but I tried to make her happy afterwards.
Father will be traveling to the West Indies in a few days, and he doesn't know when he'll get back.
I still miss you, Mother.
Love,
Lars
