I got a letter from poor old Mum yesterday she said she was not well now you look after her you must look after till I come home again and when your old dad come home again I wont forget you dear son. I had letters from Aunty Lena and Kate & Ettie and one from your Grandmother that is in Wellington so you see I had mail yesterday that is the way we soldiers get our letters some times we go two or three weeks without getting any letters then se get a lot but sonie you never wrote your dad one time and I hope to get a line or two next time I get a letter from your dear old Mother. Now hear old sport I hope you get this post-card all right I am sending one to Mum too and I hope you get them all right now dear boy we are leaving this place I don’t know if we are going into the Trenches but I think I will soon be at it again I must tell you my foot is very weak I cant get along very well now and I think I will soon have to go to the Hospital again. Now dear Boy will say good bye god bless you and Mum son I remain your ever loving father.

From Dad XXXX F.S.W.”
