Dear Fred,

It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your
brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was
very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt
sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much
of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was
always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my
sincere sympathy.

Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are
always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Your sincere friend,

Jack

Roy Hodgson has admitted he did not want his 40-year coaching career to end on the sour note of
England’s humiliating defeat against Iceland at Euro 2016 after taking up the reins back at his first club,
Crystal Palace, in the Premier League.

The former national manager will oversee his first training session at Palace’s Beckenham training
ground on Wednesday after signing a two-year contract to succeed Frank de Boer. The Dutchman was
sacked this week after only 77 days and four top-flight games in charge, with all of those matches lost
without a goal scored en route to leave Palace propping up the Premier League with a daunting run of
fixtures ahead.

Hodgson, whose first game in charge will be against Southampton on Saturday, had graduated through
the youth‑team ranks at Palace, his local club, in the 1960s and has spoken of his pride at a
