He has a wife and children at home. Tell Mother the shirts have come and are just what I want. I still hope for the green silk v tement specially as it has some nice silver buttons on it which Maurice and I used to wear when we were babies and dressed alike. If I had remembered I wouldn't have risked them on seas of war. But perhaps they'll swim through.
Nothing seems to have happened lately.
That's why I write all about nothing. I'm deeply interested in what you say about Sir E. Geddes. I wonder if he'll swim through like the buttons. Tell me more. Your very affectionate daughter Gertrude.
