Dear Mother. Just a line hoping you are all well, as it leaves me nearly better I am pleased to say. I am anxious waiting to hear from you to know how you are getting along. I also hope Tom is alright yet, you must let me know as soon as possible. Well Dear Mother you must take care of yourself. Will you please notify my regiment as to the change of address. Give my love to Maria & Tom and the children xxx. Remember me to all. From Your Ever Loving Son, Billy. xxxxxx"
