Calder-Marshall, Arthur to "My own darling wife" [Alice Calder-Marshall], 22/4/2/15

Photocopy of the original letter. It is unclear why these letters are included with the collection, and may have been a separate research project that Julia Briggs was working on.

Also notable is Calder-Marshall's system of writing dates. He may have been using the Soviet Calendar, which dropped 2 weeks from February 1918.

"My own darling Wife, This time I had actually two letters from you, both around at the same time although there is a week between them and in one of them you start off [scolding?] me for not writing and I decided while I read it to telegraph, you finish by saying you have had my letter and evidently missed one, how many ones you miss I don't know for I [?] uneasily once a week at the worst and sometimes a short letter in between..."
