  Dear Mother & Father,
  

                                           I have received some
  

  letters & P.C. lately, and I am glad to hear that
  

  all are quite well. I am in the best of form
  

  and am back again at the front. How is Willie,
  

  I suppose he is a big boy now. Tell him I will get a
  

  ''Jack Johnson'' and send it home to him. Also Maggie
  

  Kit and Mick I hope they are all in the best of health.
  

  How is Bill Nicholl remember me to him also all
  

  the family.
  

  The weather is very warm here, but as
  

  we are near the water we get a nice sea breeze at
  

  times. We also go for a swim some evenings just
  

  as it gets dark because it is rather dangerous in
  

  the daytime as you might get a bullet or shrapnel.
  

  There is lots of shrapnel going every day. There
  

  is a very high ridge quite near us, which the Turks are
