Scope and content

Maud Agar wrote on behalf of her husband, Private John William Agar, Service number 4781, of 4th Dragoon Guards. Their York address was 4 Gray's Buildings, Priory St. She states that he is a prisoner of war in Doeberitz, Germany and she was surprised to get a postcard from him as 'they had only been allowed to write once in 50 days' but are 'allowed to write every fortnight from now'. She adds 'they may receive as many parcels and postcards' as they care to send and that her husband had acknowledged the international money order she sent him before Christmas.
