Dear Mr. Shaw
As you know I am getting a separation allowance & it would make me very happy if I could hand on a little of it to you for your sister in law. Ralph & I would like to help in this small way such a determined soldier as your brother.1
If I may I will send you £1 on the 1st of every month and I hope that you can send it on to your sister in law2 without any mentioning of names.
Ralph is leaving Watford on Monday for Saffron Walden so I shall be returning to no 13 then.
Yours very sincerely
Adeline Vaughan Williams
