Miss S. Greaves,

Dear Miss Greaves,
We can now place you in W.L.A. employment. This will be with Mr. Harrison of Rigton Carr, Bardsey, Nr. Leeds.
On this farm there are about 45 cows (T.T. Herd), and you will have to help with the milking of these by machine, wash the milk bottles and do general farm work. You and Miss Carter will be billeted on the farm and you will have to share a bedroom. The wages would be as given on the enclosed leaflet.
Please will you let me and also Mr. Harrison know on what day you can commence this work? If there is anything which you get to the farm [sic] you should get into touch with Lady Bingley of Bramham Park, Boston Spa, Leeds, as she is the Committee Member for the area.
Your unfirom [sic] will be sent direct to the farm.
The enclosed travel leaflet will enable you to claim your travelling expenses to the farm.
Yours faithfully
COUNTY SECRETARY

My dear Sadie, Before yesterday I arrived in my home town. I was told by my mother that you have written a letter to her and that you have been so kind to send three parcels. I thank you very much for your help. Now about you and Nora. How are you girls getting on, all right I hope. I would be very glad to hear something from you again. It is a pity that you left so early. After christmas we have been allowed to go out. (5 miles around the camp.) I would have liked to wash your smart faces with some snow. Devon has been covered with snow for three weeks. During that time we had to work once in three weeks. Now you will say lucky boy, but was not, because I didn't get any money at all. If you ask me whether I am glad to be back or not I can neither say yes nor no. Of course, I am glad to be reunited with my family, it is nice to meet some of my old friends, but I don't like one thing and that is the condition I found Germany I guess it is not necessary to tell you why. Now I will close for this time and I hope you won't let me wait so long (P.T.O.) So till I hear from you again Yours |

P.S. My best wishes to Nora and her family and yours, too. |
