W H Breare letter

Sapper Seaman T Whittall wrote me for some sea-boot stockings. I asked for them last Wednesday. I was rather mystified, as I didn't know what they were; but Councillor Webster called in to say that he would pay for the stockings if I would order them. That was Friday. On Saturday I received a pair from Mrs H P Plummer, of Glenholme, Durham Road, Gateshead. I was much delighted at the lady's generosity, and I shall order a second pair on behalf of Councillor Webster. So the boy will have one to wear and another for changing.
