My Dear Mother

Just a line hoping it will find you feeling a little better. I got your letter alright but I still feel that you are very ill. But I was writing to Annie and I hope she did carry out my instructions and I shall soon have the pleasure of all you.

The weather still keeps quite nice. I am still in the same place, so Annie can write to the same address. Well I think this is all at present. Hoping to hear from you soon again.
Good bye
I Remain
Your Loving son
John
