Evelina Suhler is the granddaughter of Jon Anthony Bouman and inherited the family collection of his letters from the years of World War I. She and her husband gave the letters to the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library & Museum in 2013.

    Well, dear people, it’s all fixed up now. You will see me, fat and bleary-eyed, rolling in, Saturday morning, Liverpool Street * a.m. and we’ll spend a joyful day. I hope the office won’t want me at once. Day, we hear, is leaving for Berlin early next week, so I shall be able to have a talk with him before he pulls out.

    So if you can arrange for the motor to meet me, I’ll be glad. I hope you will all be able to come to the station, but don’t, unless it’s convenient.

    Weather here cold and showery. All further news when we meet. There are still a lot of black currant jujubes left!
*I cannot find out at the moment what time. They talk about 10 o’clock & 1030 but perhaps you can make certain. Last time it was 930 English time and I think my informants today must have been talking of German time.
