Mitcham, November 7th 1916

My Dear People,

Just a line to let you know I am well, we are not sailing till this afternoon as the transport was delayed.

I saw Mrs. Cahill Saturday night and took her and Ethel to the Dandies. It was Mrs. Cahill who was looking for Kathleen in town, she left a note at Grants' for her but I suppose they did not give it to her. I went and saw Nell Simmons last night. I am to get two pounds ten embarkation pay before I go, so I will have plenty of money. There is no other Quinn in this unit now as the other chap has been transferred somewhere else.

I must close now as we will soon be off. Hoping you are all well. 

I remain

Your Loving son and Brother 

Tom.
