Dear Mother just a few lines to you in which I hope

you and all are well as it leaves me the same, I thought

I wasn't going to have anymore letters from you I

have had 2 letters from you since I came back so I

hope you will write a bit more as I thought there was

something wrong well Dear Mother you ask me what

I thought of Kate I think she is a very nice girl not like

that one over the road if you dont mind please dont

mention her to me again as I don't wish to hear about her.

Dear Mother I hope you won't forget the card on the

sixth of August as you know what that is don't you.

I wish to be remembered to Frank Hutchins tell him

I am still alive and kicking well Dear Mother I think

this is all the time with love to you and all
