Letter from Palestine (2 pages)
Mother Mine, I received
your letter today and your hamper from McWhirters. I also landed your lovely big
cake a few days ago. Mumsie, it was a Corker.
My mates and I had two goes at it, and everyone of them - all good lads too,
told me to give you their thanks. They call you the Section Mother. That means
you have eight more soldiers boys to love you.
I am so proud to have a mother like you, old Darling. My mail is coming like one
thing now, since coming to Palestine.
