ABSTRACT
‘DEAR MRS. OTWAY,
‘I am so very glad to be able to send you the enclosed. Of course I have not read it. In fact I do not know German. But I gather that it contains news of Major Guthrie, and that it is written with a kindly intention. It was probably intended to arrive for Christmas.
‘Yours very truly, ‘ANNABEL GAUNT.‘P.S. – Any letters you write in answer must be left open.’
