Note
This letter is dated 'Sunday' without any other information. An approximate date of c. 1916 is assigned due to the information in the letter. Ruth talks of George coming home soon on leave, which occurred in December 1916. Clare is still very young and there were talks of an Education Bill around this time. However there are no dates unaccounted for in the correspondence leading up to his leave, and the style of paper is slightly different, although the same paper is used earlier on in the same month of that year.
