Dear Mother & All

Just recieved your letter to-day & also a parcel from the I.O.D.E. containing sox, & I wish you would thank them for me as I don't know who to write to.

You sure must be having some time with the crowd you have at home. I have met Lawrence McNicol twice of late & he seems to be getting on o.k. A fellow, whose name is Holston saw Cliff Hallett, who is in the P.P.C.L.I's & he says he was looking the same as usual. I tried to find Cliff at his billet but nobody seemed to know him.

We are out of the line for a short term to get cleaned up & rested.

The weather is keeping fair this last few days. I am writing to the two addresses you gave me as soon as possible.

Hoping this finds all in the best of health.

Your Loving Son

Roy.

P.S. If you having time, send a few eats as I have a big gap & can't get it filled.

Roy.
