water. When the author opened the drawer it 
revealed a secret space. In it he found a small 
black tin box. On the top of the box words 
were written “Jim’s last letter, received 
January 25, 1915”. To be buried with me when 
the time comes. Inside there was an envelope 
with the address “Mrs. Jim Macpherson 12 
Copper Beeches, Bridport”. The date was Dec 
26, 1914.
