We regret that we did not persuade him to come home and see us before enlisting, but none of us thought the war would have lasted so long.

With many thanks for your letter and with kindness regards to you all from each one of us
Ever your sincere friend Anna M. Mitchell
Please remember us very kindly to Mrs Copley.
