December 31, 1954

ONE of the Christmas cards that arrived at the post office in Redditch last Monday was one written in the hand of a small child.

Its address was simple.

It just read: "To Heaven."

Inside the envelope was a devotional Christmas card, with a picture depicting a priest kneeling at a candle-lit altar upon which was the figure of the Christ-child in a cradle.

The dedication was as simple as the address, and said: "Dear God, love from Charles."
