Dear Miss Reid,
Received your letter dated Oct. 7 today. I wrote you a couple of weeks ago thanking you for your darling parcel. In case you didn’t received it, I wish to again tell you how glad I was to get it and also ask you to convey to Miss Wing and Miss Payne my sincere thanks for this donation. Everything was in grand condition.
So glad you are feeling A 1 and have escaped all fevers etc, which have held dear old Chatham in their grip for a few months.
Don’t know when I will get back home again but feel sure it is to come in a few months so am not worrying. Have been moved of late. Wound is getting along pretty good excepting it had a hemorrhage and on account of it will be a while yet healing. Can walk fairly now so can’t complain when you see some poor boys.
Must close now.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year & Best to all.
Bob
