London: “we have got back safe so far on our way back to France”

Postmark: London

28 Feb 1916

London, 28-2-16

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
