My Dear Mother
Just a few lines to say I received your ever welcome letter today and I am glad to know that all at home are still in good health as this leaves myself in the same at present. I have got all your letters now. I got 6 of them at the same time. So I get them now alright. It is a wonder you did not get an answer to your letters before this as I write to you every week. The weather has got rather showery this last while […] as the dry weather is very pleasant.
Well I had a letter from Mr Torrie from Waterford and he was telling me all at home were in good health. I had also a letter from Jennie and she was in good health also I had no word from Jack this long time but I think it was my own fault as I did not get answering his last letter. I did not [k]no[w] he had any notion of getting married. What happened that it did not come off? I saw T Moffat today and he looked quite well. He was telling me Sammie had to go through another operation. I think his soldiering days are finished.
Well I hope you will get this and forgive me for anything I said and hope it will still find you enjoying good health. Tell Annie and Jimmie that I was asking for them and hope to hear from them soon.
I think this is all now so I will close with best love to all at home.
I remain
Your loving son
John
PS Do not forget to write to the same address as I am with the Batt. now.

My Dear Mother
Just a few lines hoping they will find yourself and all at home still enjoying your usual good health as this leaves myself in the same at present. I am sorry I have been so long in writing to you but I always send you a field card to let you know how I am getting on. I am getting your letters alright now. I had a letter from Jennie and she is in good health. The weather still continues to be fine out here. Tell Jimmy I am expecting a letter from him to let me know how things are going on. I think I was telling you how I saw T Moffatt and he is looking alright and was asking for you. I believe Sam has gone into hospital again. I expect he will get his discharge soon. Do you have any word from Jack or does he ever be home? I had no word from him this long time.
Well I think this is all now hoping to hear from you soon again. I will now draw to a close for the present.
I remain
Your loving son
