"Dear Mr McBey,
Your letter, and goods were deliverd here on the 23rd of February; I am sorry I was not here and could perhaps have had your present address, to send this acknowledgment to. Any item that is missing will never be charged for, as all men that are helping to save our country are deserving of our gratitude and all that we can give. Wishing you will arrive safely; and with no ill will between us, and wishing you "good luck." I remain yours sincerely Louise Inglis."
