was given him here Moreover the
writer (Father Wareing) was with
him and administered the rites of our

strength to bear with every Christian
virtue the seemingly heavy cross
which he has placed upon your poor
human shoulders. Your boy has

52S Sblth Fifth street, Mankato, Mimi.
Dear Mr.. Lorentz:
You have already been notified by
the army authorities that your son,
Wendell A. Lorentz. Company E, 35Sth
Infantry, died in this hospital on
August 20. AS am the representative
Of the Red Cross at this hospital
am going to write and tell you few
details that of course the notification
does not give.
Your son was admitted here at Z
p. m. on August 20, very badly
wounded in his spine by shrapnel,
while on duty at the front. He was
brought at once to this hospital after
his injury, but in spite of everything
that could be done for him, by our
fine American doctors and nurses, he
was too badly hurt to recover, and
died at 1920 that night.
You will be glad to know that our
priest was with him when he died
and also saw him several times before,
which was a great comfort to him.
This priest, Father Wareing, has
think written you a letter tel
ling about his death, which You
should receive before long.
You will also receive a phot
of your sons grave, taken by the
Red Cross. He is buried in our hos
pital cemetery, which is in a beautiful
quiet spot beside a pretty little
wood. The funeral, which was a
military one. was held by Father
Wareing. The coffin was covered
with an American flag, a salute was
fired over the open grave, and taps
was blown by a bugler standing at
the head of the grave. 1t was a most
impressive ceremony.
In case here is anything further
that l can tell you, please do not
hesitate to let me know.
cerely yours, Mary Gertrude Brow
