Dear Joan, By the time you receive this note I will have killed myself. I love you more than ever I did. Please don't take this matter to heart-Roy..

Captain Geddes, according to the Army List, was A D.C. to Sir Frank Sly, Governor of the Central Provinces, India, and both he and his wife were due to return to India by the P. and O. steamer "Mulbera."

Soon after 10 am, a shot was-heard-and-Mrs-Geddes rushed from her room on the second floor of Gordon-chambers and told the wife of the steward of the flats that Captain Geddes had shot, himself. The woman tried to comfort her, but Mrs. Geddes, saying repeatedly. "Leave me alone," went back to her room.
