All That I Ask Is Love .... And A Cure For The Common Cold


To: Miss B E Snook, 
Mount Street,
Barford St Martin
Salisbury, Wilts

Dear Sister,
Just a few lines to you in answer to your letter. Sorry to have kept you waiting so long but I have had such a rotten influenza cold. I want to tell you not to write till I write again as we are going to move to Cosham tomorrow and I will send on the address as soon as possible. From your ever loving brother, Percy xxxxxxx
