I know a rough lad now who does his best to keep straight and please 'his lady,' as he calls his Sunday teacher. She writes to him sometimes, and he's as proud of those letters as if they came from the Queen."
"Yes, you might write letters, Baby," Sydney graciously allowed.
"And you can pray for the soldiers, dearie," said Nurse. "There's no knowing the good you may do them by that."
