Letters

Private M Clifford, writing from Limburg, Germany, to Miss Clough, 21 Granville Road, [Henry Clough (William Clough & Sons), colliery agent] Harrogate, says : 

Madam, Pleased to acknowledge the receipt of the 21st parcel, which arrived in good condition. I also got the flour, which came in very useful. I made some nice Yorkshire puddings. I have not received the boots yet. Expect they might turn up later. I also received your long letter, and it was a very cheerful one. I will send you and Mrs Barker my photograph later on. I am preparing for another Xmas here, and am trying to make it as happy as I can. I sincerely hope that you and Mrs Barker will enjoy a merry Xmas and a happy New Year. I hope you will excuse this short letter, but will write a long one next time. Thanking you again.
