Fanny to Ethel     56 Ramsden Rd                Feb 6 1917

My darling Ethel,

Just a line to tell you David started for France, he went off bright and early and it’s a beautiful sunny morning, he is very well. Hoping you are all well and will be kept from harm.

With fondest love from your loving Mamma

I have sent little Erl a lock for her bracelet in a letter Feb 3. Hope you will get it. Mamma
