My Dear Brother,
On behalf of our congregation I send you warm and affectionate greetings and the assurance that you are not forgotten. Every time we meet for worship we remember all our soldiers and sailors and at our weekly prayer meetings on Wednesday evenings the names of all belonging to us, who are actually in the Land of war or with our ships on the seas are read over before the special prayers of intercession. We can say literally therefore we remember you in our prayers.
