Dear Mother,
Just a line to say that we have got back safe so far on our way back to France. I hope you are keeping well and that Jimmy got home safe from the station. It seems to have snowed a lot here of late. We leave London at 4 pm and we arrived here at 7.00 this morning so have quite a while to stay here.
Your son,
Johnnie
