The letter is from Auntie Hilda, of 4 Harley Street, Mayfair, London. it reads:- Dear David & Mary, Uncle Stanley and I went to see the Zeppelin which came down near Colchester the other day and the crew were taken prisoners, so I am sending you some little bits of it that the man in charge let me bring away as I thought you might like to see the stuff it is made of. The cross piece is aluminium and is a bit of the frame work - the grating is from the radiator, the triangular piece of sticky stuff is part of one of the balloonettes which holds the gas and the other pieces of charred stuff is part of the whole covering of the envelope of the ship. These too last have nearly all been burnt away as the germans set fire to it when they left it. - It must have made a lovely blaze as it is 550 feet long! But the frame work, engines and propellers are nearly complete so it was a fine sight. I hope you are both well and I wish you both many Happy Returns of your birthdays. Will you please tell Mummy that I am expecting her to lunchy with me on Wednesday, Peter sends his love. Your affectionate Auntie Hilda. Z512 -SOLD
