Dearest Angel,
I pray your upcoming battles are quick and few. When moments become rough, remember that little Albert and I are praying for your safe return. Beth sounds like a lovely girl, and I'm sure Opal will calm down once she sees what the war is like. Young Loyalists can't remain in their bubble after seeing first hand the carnage war brings.
Albert insists that we set a place for you at the table so we are ready for when you do come home. The whole time we're eating he keeps looking towards the front door expecting you to walk in. The last time we were in town I bought him a Tiny Annie doll, and said she was from you. He calls her "Rosey mommy's helper", I believe the name comes from her bright red hair. He's calmed down a great deal since receiving it and has taken to carrying it around and sleeping with it. He even tells it messages to give to you. He refuses to part with it, even when she becomes dirty he insists on giving her a bath himself. I can't bear to make him part with it so I watch carefully as he cleans her fabric body and limbs.
Lovingly,
