Dear Mother,
This is just a wee line to say I am well and got your letter alright.  I will write soon.  I had a PC from J.  He was not sick when I saw him at all, only the doctors say the hand is no good till the dirt comes out.  I am sure he is very lonely.  I had a letter from Jack.  He is a srgt now.  I wants J to write to him.  I am having a grand time down here.  We are out all the time.  This is our front, only the waves are lovely.  I hope you are all well.  I have the [].  Write soon with love from Jeanie [sic]

Dear [Mother]

[I] received your letter, will write soon.  We leave here on Monday.  Am writing this on the [shore?].  Hope you are not too lonely.  Have had a very good time.  [Shane?] enjoyed it very much.  The weather is lovely just now.  I tried to get some shells but there is nothing but fine sand.  A lot of people has gone away to [dog?].
Love from Jeannie
I have been to this church.
