My dear Sir,

I can only return you my Sincere thanks for the Strawberries, milk bread & butter you have so Kindly sent us. They were all very nice & much enjoyed by Mrs. Lee.

For your prayers & friendship I am truly grateful & I am joined by Mrs. Lee in Cordial regards to Mrs. Anderson & your daughter for their Kindness.

I am glad to inform you that my son Robert has got in Safely.

Wishing you every happiness,

I am very truly yours,

R E Lee
