Mr. J. Williamson,

Bridge, Canterbury,
Kent.

Dear Mr. Williamson,

Thank you very much for your letter
received last week with the booklet of Bridge and
St.Peter's enclosed. I was delighted to have it
and to be able to see a picture of the church and
the village. They really are very good and the
text also gives a good description. It was most
thoughtful of you to send it.

I found all the information contained
in your letter most interesting and can see that
you have made quite a study of the local history.
It's a fascinating subject. One of my White ances-
tors — Richard White - joined the 1st Life Guards
in 1848 when he was but 19 and was a lifetime member
of that regiment. I wonder if he was inspired to
join the army by all the military activity he must
have seen in and around the village during his boy-

hood in Brid.e, as troops m5ved"to and from Dover.
Kn interesting thought.

I have visited Canterbury several times
but have never so far as I know, been to Bridge.
However, if I do manage to go there one of these
days I shall be pleased to accept your kind offer
to show me the village. I'm sure it would be a
most interesting visit.

Again, thank you very much for writing,
I very much enjoyed hearing from you.

Sincerely,

r/it/4 W)
