Dearest Edward

Your fine letters to your father
and to me came on Thursday
and this a.m. – and before I
forget I must say at once that your
suit case came safely long ago
& the watch & everything was I
believe all right. It is too bad
that you were not notified before.
We enjoy greatly [underlined] your letters
telling all about your trenching
experiences – and all that –
We were terribly worried up here

[written vertically on left side:]
I have not sent the handkerchiefs I found of yours waiting to
mend one of them. I wonder what the silk supporting
it? & if [underlined]
it is a good
one –
