My Dear people,
Just a few lines to let you know I am quite well & doing alright.
I got a letter from Mick Griffen when he was nearing Colombo the other day. I also had a letter from Davenport in the Battalion, he told me the boys had got a parcel of mine which, of course, they would make short work of as soon as they heard I was in hospital, but I hope they let me know who it was from.
Things are going on quietly over here & there is very little news, the weather is very mild for this time of the year & spring promises to be fairly early this year. I am still getting my leg massaged.
Well I will close now as there is nothing to write about.
Hoping you are all quite well
I remain Your Loving Son & Brother

My Dear People,
Just a few lines to let you know I am still "swinging the lead" at Dartford, I am getting along quite well. Since last writing to you I have received 7 letters one from Mum (Nov 26th) one from Kath (Dec 26th) 3 from Annie (Nov 22nd, Dec 4th, Dec 13th) one from Hilda Pohlner & one from Mary Duggan.
I was very shocked to hear Uncle Dan had died & I am very sorry for Aunty Ada & the little boys, but, I hope they get on alright. I do not know how Aunty will be able to keep the place going till Allan grows up.
Things are pretty quiet here & the strikes are mostly over now but there is a threat of a big coal strike, also one of all transport workers for a 44 hour week, so I do not know if there will be any more trouble.
Well I will close now hoping you are all quite well.
I remain
Your Loving Son & Brother
