Letter written from the front-line trenches - enclosing a poppy (poppy accessioned separately 2002.82.1) "3-7-16 My Dear Jessie, Just a few lines with these little flowers that I am sending you. They have been piced by me right at the front trenches. I thought you might like some little thing, and pieces of shells are too big to post, and any rate I think flowers much nicer. Thanks for your last nice letter. I got it a few days ago. How is Jack keeping. Did you have a good time when he was home in April. He will be getting quite a city dandy now. Give Luna (.) and Gwen a kiss each for me. Much love from Uncle Len."
