that is just a presaved letter with paste name address here instructions and sent to the PM's office maybe to be signed ore likely though just to be sent from there


not sitting down and personally reading the information he is provided by the ministry of defence then writing to the family in his own hand


so yes it is going out of his way

So much easier to write a shabby letter than turn up at an airfield and watch boxes being loaded into hearses.
