Dear Abigail

Someone writes as follows:

Lorraine,

I have read Abigail's contributions with a growing empathy and excitement.Her memories and ,indeed ,her current practices really ring a bell over here,to pardon the pun.Is it possible to correspond with her in any way?

John, A lover of the gaberdine raincoat and wellington boot look.

Let me know if I can help.

Abigail has in fact now been in touch, thanking John, but explaining that she writes to me only to express her love of school uniforms in particular, fully buttoned blazers, gaberdines and Wellingtons and now Sou'westers, 'hoping that other ladies can be encouraged to share their feelings for their own school uniforms.'
