Dear mother.
I hope you are all quite well, I had a letter from you today dated 21st May. I hope that the boys had good sport at Bellaport. We are having very nice weather here again now, we had it pretty rotten here for a long time. I expect to go to Holland with the next party my proof of Rank arrived all right at last. Give my love to all at Home & remember me to Mrs Arkey Mr your loving Son
