Scope and content

H Towse wrote on headed paper from HMS Natal, 2nd Cruiser Squadron. He states that since the start of the war they have had every reason in the fleet to be grateful to their Country for the spontaneous way in which people at home have 'answered the call' made by the heads of the cities to supply them with comforts. He adds 'it is still pouring in', but as a man of York he appreciates the kind thought that prompted the Lord Mayor and Sheriff to send the 'little token', and he will 'value it more than all else'.
