6th June 1916 - sister May writes to Albert......
Dear Old Albert

Just a line hoping it finds you in the pink as usual. We have just had the sad news to say Lord Kitchener has been drowned, my word we hadn't need lose men like him but I expect it can't be helped...

...Dad and the boys send their love, you will soon be sweet 17 and never been kissed on the 22nd of this month. Well cheerio and keep on smiling. I will close now with all my fondest love. Hurry up and send me a line as you know you owe me one. By the way Albert send us a card if you have a chance to get one as they are so pretty.

Your loving Sister

May
