    [Handwriting] Dear Mother and Sister Just a line in answer to your caller. The weather here is grand this week you must excuse callers not writing as they are so busy during the day, he comes out as soon as he can at night so I said I would just send a line for him. I think they will make a proper soldier of him but all the same he would rather be home best love Emma and Albert
    hope Mrs Langham is better. I expect coming home next Monday.
