Dora Says What Should I Buy Edward For Christmas?
Dear Readers,
What should I buy my fiance for Christmas, 1915? By then he should be out of the army, so I shouldn't buy him a canteen or something only soldiers need. I know! He took a brand new folding camera with him. It had just come from Kodak in America. It even had interchangeable lenses. Maybe I should buy him camera equipment. Not that I know much about it. I will have to go to a camera shop and ask advice.
Edward has promised not only to write me every day from the Dardanelles but to take pictures as well. He will already have a collection by the time we meet again. Next he can start taking photos of me. So far he has only one that he took the day after we met after Queenstown and the Lusitania. We were sitting in the gardens at Ware Hall. He set the automatic timer and sat down next to me with his arm around my shoulders.
How I miss him!
Sincerely yours,
Dora Benley
