Groningen, Holland

“Dear Sir, ― I am very grateful to you for the prompt manner in which you have sent me New Testaments (khaki, pocket size). Might I suggest, as we have over fourteen hundred men here, and we never know if Holland will be involved in this War later, that if you can send me at least one hundred Testaments, I will faithfully promise to distribute them to men who I think will gladly accept them. I don’t advise many tracts to be sent, though a few will be acceptable... If you can spare two hundred Testaments so much the better, and they shall not be wasted. ― 1st Class Petty Officer E. H. S. C—, Hawke Battalion.”
