France, December 12, 1916
Dear Father,
Just a line to say I am "jake". I am back with the regiment again and my address is No. 3 Coy. I have not heard from Archie for some time. I suppose he will be on sick leave by this time. How are you all at home? I trust this finds you as well as it leaves me.
Your affectionate son, Ronald #157269, Pte. R. MacKinnon
