  My Dear Mother just a few lines to you

  in answer to your kind and loving letter

  in which I am pleased to hear you and all

  are quite well as it leaves me the same. Sorry 

  I haven't wrote before we have only stopped in

  harbour for a day and out again well

  I am glad to say we have got here safe

  well how is Doris I hope she is quite well

  and I still think about her I will see what

  I can buy for her when I go ashore. I am

  having my photo taken out here so I will

  send one home it seems funny that our

  time is 9 hours in front of yours well

  dear mother I think I have said all

  this time hoping this will find you

  and all quite well as it leaves me

  the same from your ever loving and

  most affectionate son Jack XXXXX
