Il testo è costituito dal telegramma ufficiale che annunciava la morte di George W. Honts (1907-1945), ufficiale medico nella 500th Medical Collecting Company dell’esercito americano, ucciso in Germania il 25 marzo 1945 durante l’attraversamento del Reno, giusto poche settimane prima della fine della guerra.
George W. Honts scrisse molte lettere d’amore alla moglie Evelyn, alcune delle quali sono state recentemente musicate da Alan Louis Smith (1955-), pianista e docente di strumenti a tastiera presso la USC Thornton School of Music di Los Angeles, California, nel ciclo intitolato “Vignettes: Letters from George to Evelyn: from the Private Papers of a World War II Bride”
