like to hear the local news, one thing I would appreciate now is a little money, as there are plenty of canteens around,. but every little article is a high price,.

[abbreviated: Battalion] makes a lot of handling of mail before we ever see it. Did you get the mails I sent about a week ago?, also the Fritzy snaps I sent to George. I heard Arthur was wounded I hope it wasn't serious, have had no word from Ervie for about two weeks, he was then fine. The weather has certainly been very fine the last few weeks, hoping it continues, am in B. co [abbreviated: company] 13th. With Love To All SeftonTranscriber
