to Mrs Hugh Lewis - 1918

Description

Mind you drink our healths on Christmas Day. ... How we have all wished to live on to see "what peace is like", but what is it like? Very silent I think, because of the dead men, as if we had difficulty in realising that they were not dead merely for the duration of the war. My love to all, round and round. Michael is going to Oxford in January, to Christchurch. One boast! His report ended "He is the most admirable boy I have ever had in my house".
