    KNIGHT [COX], Maud. Letter sent to her uncle, Herbert John Knight.
    This letter, written on 24 FEB 1907, was sent to Maud's Uncle Herbert. In it, Maud refers to... "her sweetheart" who is... "on an engine learning to be an engine driver". This is probably a reference to her future husband, Edwin Cox, who was employed by the GWR (Great Western Railway).
