Dear Ona & Levi

Just a line to let you know I am in London on a six day pass. Well I am taking in the sights of London, and there are a great many all the shops windows have their Xmas displays now and they are fine. If am having a fine time here. This is a fine club, we sit on bed & breakfast for thirty two cents, and we buy our dinner & supper in Restaurants, and we certainly get lots to eat. There are no street cars here, but they use busses & cabs. I do not know when I will go to the front but think will be in Eng for Xmas anyway, but of course I don't know

The above address will get me alright I am well at present & hope you are all well at port. How is [?] getting along now. Well London has many sights there. And it would take a month to see them all. When we left camp we were living in tents but we expect to get huts when we get back. Well I am having a good time when can as when at the Front a pass come about once in six months. So it is best to have a good time when I can have it. On the card you will see one of the buses it has "Hair Dye" add on it well there are lots of them here. Instead of street cars give the card to [?] that I put in for him
