Pauline Robinson 'Robin' Bush - at the time, George H.W. and Barbara's only daughter - died in 1953, when she was just three years old, after a six-month battle with leukemia

George Bush Snr's youngest daughter Dorothy had yet to be born, and at the time he and wife Barbara, who died in April this year, had four sons.

In the letter to his mother Dorothy W. Bush, penned in 1958, the former U.S. President describes the loss of Robin to the family.

He writes about 'needing a girl' to offset 'torn-kneed blue jeans and helmets, forts and rackets and thousand baseball cards.'

He describes her as 'patient' with 'hugs a little less wiggly.' 

'We need her and yet we have her. We can't touch her and yet we can feel her.'

Reunited: George H.W. Bush will be buried on Thursday, next to his wife and daughter

The letter has re-emerged following the 41st U.S. President's death on Friday, 30 November, at the age of 94.

The day after his death, an emotional cartoon showing him reunited with his wife and daughter in heaven, was widely shared on social media.

The drawing, by a Mississippi newspaper cartoonist, shows Bush Snr landing in heaven to join Barbara and Robin, and as the three of them hold hands and walk off across the clouds, Mrs Bush says 'We waited for you.' 

Robin was born in December 1949 and died a few weeks before her fourth birthday on October 11, 1953.

She was buried in College Station, Texas, on the grounds of the Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M University, where her mother lies since her death in April. 

After lying in state until December 5, George H.W. Bush will be buried next to his wife and daughter at 4.15pm CT on Thursday, December 6. 

'We need a girl': George H.W. Bush's 1958 letter about daughter Robin

'We need some starched crisp frocks to go with all our torn-kneed blue jeans and helmets. We need some soft blond hair to offset those crew cuts.

'We need a dollhouse to stand firm against our forts and rackets and thousand baseball cards... 

'We need a little one who can kiss without leaving egg or jam or gum. We need a girl.

'We had one once. She'd fight and cry and play and make her way just like the rest but there was about her a certain softness. 

'She was patient. Her hugs were just a little less wiggly.'

'But she is still with us. We need her and yet we have her. We can't touch her and yet we can feel her. 

We hope she'll stay in our house for a long, long time.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
