Dear Sonal,

Here I am to share my anxiety, fears and feelings with you. They are about a roll-top desk I purchased from a junk shop. In its one drawer I found a letter. It was written by some Jim to his wife Mrs. Macpherson. Jim was an army officer and fought the war against Germany during World War I. The letter described an incident that occurred on the Christmas morning on the battlefield where the Germans invited the British to relish their shnapps, play a football match.

The letter had so touching details, I decided to search Mrs. Macpherson and deliver the letter. Having made some enquiries I reached a nursing home and found the lady who was now 101 years old. I went up and handed over the letter to her. That was the Christmas morning. Her eyes lit up and she looked at me and believed that Jim had come back. She kissed my cheek, offered me tea and cake. I was spell-bound. I am in a fix whether to disclose my identity or disappoint the old lady. I could not make up my mind. Please do help me. What should I do? Your loving friend, Jane.
