Mrs. George Noonan,
Christies Lake,
Dear Mrs. Noonan:
I met your son today, and am glad to be able to tell you he was looking bright and cheery, and said he was enjoying his visit to Scotland. I took his regimental address so as to write to him sometimes, so that he may feel he has a friend on this side of the sea, and gave him mine, and we agreed I would write to you. God comfort you in all this awful anxiety, and send your gallant boy safe home to you. I am one of the Britons (of Colonial family) who are very grateful to you overseas men for coming so far to help to save us from the Huns, and I have worked among the overseas men for nearly two years now. I am the widow of a cavalry colonel, Royal Horse Guards, and have one son, a wounded officer. I am a member of the Victoria League, and do all I can to help the overseas boys, and they call me “The Soldier’s Mother.” I took your boy to see St. Giles Cathedral and the Castle of Edinburgh today. Your friend, Mrs. Milne Home of Wedderburn. P.S. – Please quote your boy’s regt. Address exactly as above, if you answer this, and send me a local paper, as I am a hospital visitor and the overseas boys love a home paper. (27 Jul 1917 pg 8)
