Dear Dad,
Just a few lines thanking you for the Tobacco which I received yesterday. Met a chap out of the Battn. on Thursday, he told me that Wareing was alright when he left but they have had a rough time. My arm is almost better again, dont expect I shall be here above another week at the most, you get short mercy here if there is nothing the matter with you. We don't appear to be exactly winning the War at present but one never knows what the game is, perhaps the Yankees will polish them off. I heard that you had been in bed ill but I hope there is nothing serious the matter with you. You will have to look after yourself a bit because Anno Domini and the rough treatment you had out here wont have improved your constitution. We are having some very mixed weather here one day we have to wear overcoats to keep warm and the next the sun is scorching, I suppose its the same in Lancashire. Well I hope business is brisk and that this will find you in the pink of condition. Will write again soon or send a Field Card if I should chance to stray up the line,

Still going strong,
Your Affectionate Son
Bill
