The likelihood is that Jim Macpherson never returned from the war. The note that was discovered with the letter, describing it as “Jim’s last letter, received January 25, 1915,” is where this assumption is made. Jim may not have survived the war if no more letters were received from him. Furthermore, the story’s setting suggests that the events occurred in the early stages of World War I, when the Germans enjoyed considerable wins, suggesting that the British, including Jim, suffered heavy losses. Given that Jim Macpherson most likely died in the conflict, Connie saw this letter as her heartfelt farewell to him.
