MARKET HARBOROUGH.
10th. Sept 1944,

It was very good of you to write such a long letter to Mrs Lowe, and to ask that it should be passed on to me to read.

I am very sorry for you in your sad time, and I do hope & pray that one day you will hear good news.

Fond thoughts, Yours sincerely G. Gouter.
