PRUSSIAN DREAM OF PEACE IN THE SPRING.
PROVINCIAL PATRIOTS.
From Jim Figgis, Whitty Bridge, to George Roberts, South Farm, Sudborough.
Dec. 5th. 1915.
Dear George,—I hear the remount officer is coming round your part. I have a compact little bay horse, just the sort for the Army. We must all do our bit now, so here's our chance. The Vet says the horse has laminitis in his off fore foot, but it's all my eye. Anyhow he's the useful sort they require for the Army. They wouldn't look at me if I offered him, but you can get round them. Give me fifty quid and I'll send him over.
