Dear Comrades,
We understand you have now received the correct address of your dear Son who is a Prisoner of War in Germany.
We shall be only too pleased to write to him if you will kindly let us share his address which should include his Prisoner of War number, the Camp number, etc. We are also arranging for a little gift to be sent to you for inclusion in your next parcel to him.
God bless you and your dear one.
Yours sincerely,
