  Dear mother

                       I received your welcome letter this morning

  I got the registered parcel of cigarettes alright but I never

  got the letter with the order in it. The letter I got this

  morning is the only letter I got since last Monday

  week with the exception of the parcel of cigarettes.

  I began to think there was something wrong when

  I was not getting a letter from you. I asked the

  Regimental Postman if there was a letter for me 

  on Sunday or Monday last and he said there

  was not. Perhaps it went astray in coming over

  here. But I can tell you if it came here I would have

  got it. So you may rest easy it never came here.

  I dont know if there was any mail boats sunk

  that it might have been on. Because we never hear

  of them. There's no use making enquiries about

  it because the post office will tell you once it was

  not registered they wont be responsible. Theres no

  one here would keep a letter belong to anyone else. Because

  we go to the office and get our letters. Thats our own

  regiment office. So we wait until our names are called 

  out then we get in and get our letters and parcels. It

  right side

  left me in an awful hobble. I had to borrow money

  from another chap. Everyday I was expecting it. Dear

  Mother we are working like slaves now from early

  morning till 8 9 and 10 at night. But I am quiet

  used to hard work now. You see we get our tea at

  10 at night so I always have something to eat before

  going to bed thats if I have the money. Write as

  soon as you get this and if you can will you 

  send on another order. We will only have to 

  be at the loss of the last order.

  No more at present.

  Write very soon

  From your loving son

  Jim
