  Mr. Brown,

              Headmaster,

                       H. G. School,

                                Broxburn.

  
  

  Dear Sir,

                     The undernoted is an extract from a letter from my son

  Captain T. C. Gibson M. C. Tank Corps: -

                     On the afternoon of the 28th Sept., on the outskirts

  of a place called Flesquires I found the enclosed card. Will you send

  it to one of the Broxburn booksellers or better still to the

  Schoolmaster, who may be able to trace the mother. If the lad is dead

  she might like to have this memento. My son in the course of his

  letter states that on this date they were having "as lively a time as

  it is possible to have."

                     I trust you will be able to trace the sender of this

  card. It was, you will observe, picked up four days after the Lad's

  Birthday.

  
  

  Yours very truly,

  ROBERT GIBSON & SONS (GLAS). LTD.
