Yesterday we heard reports of a raid because no London Mail came in but could get no news in Lanson, they said the mail came in at 12 o’clock.

Today it is stated that the Midland counties were raided & a lot of people killed & injured. Had a card from Evelyn saying they went 6 miles from him. A letter from [Arminel[?]] Discribing how she waited for them. News in the paper of the missing liner [Appan[?]] Which had been captured by a German boat of sorts, although what sort & how it got there is not clear.
