Harrogate Herald - 20th March 1918

Breare letter

I have had a letter from Pioneer A Beer, who is in Egypt. He writes to thank me for the parcel containing playing cards, writing paper and magazines. He says "they were a long time coming, but better late than never". When he wrote he was taking some Harrogate Heralds and magazines on to a Harrogate chap called Richardson, son of Mr Richardson, who was formerly manager of the George Hotel. Richardson is looking very well. There is a Knaresborough chap with them. His name is Wood, and his father has a printer's business in the old borough. Wood is also in capital health. Beer took our War Souvenir across to the Harrogate lads. He desires me to thank Father Saxton, also Mrs Bland and an anonymous donor for cards.
