Letters

Gunner G E Ransom, far away in Egypt, has received the watch Mrs Murray kindly sent for him, and in a letter to Mr W H Breare says : 

Hope this letter finds you in the best of health, at it leaves me at present, and I must now tale the opportunity of thanking you for the watch you sent out for me, and I find it comes in very useful, as it is better with a watch than without in such a place as this with nothing to look at for miles and miles. The reason I have not written before is because I have been moving further out and have had very little time for anything, so I hope you will excuse me. I don't think I have any more to say, only hoping you and all the Herald readers will have a merry Xmas and a bright New Year, and thanking you once again for the watch. Wishing you and your paper every success.
