19th January, 1916
89 Harley Street West.

My Dear Miss Davidson:
It is difficult for me to find words to express my deep appreciation for the beautiful bed spread which the Women's Institute of Cold Springs has so generously sent to the hospital. It has been received in good order and is now in use. Will you convey to your associates my warmest thanks for this practical expression of their sympathy and interest in our work among the wounded. It is very gratifying to me personally, coming as it does from those who live so close to my old home and who I hope will still remember me. Cold Springs brings back to me many happy memories of my boyhood recollections that neither time nor distance can dim. It is a source of great pride to me to feel that the Women's Institute of Cold Springs has been associated with me at my hospital work.
Gratefully yours,
DONALD ARMOUR.
