Buckingham Palace,
London, December 15, 1912.

It is with the deepest sorrow that I have to inform you of the death of Mr. Whitelaw Reid, at noon to-day. As your Ambassador in this country his loss will be sincerely deplored, while personally I shall mourn for an old friend of many years standing for whom I had the greatest regard and respect. The Queen and I sympathize most warmly with Mrs. Whitelaw Reid in her heavy sorrow.

George, R. I.
