Dear mother
Thank you for your Letters, There's another party of NCO's in for exchange today but I am not on the list, I do wish they would hurry up with my proof of rank, it is over two months since I wrote about it, Those men are mostly captured in July 1916; I hope that you are all quite well, & that the crops are coming along all right, give my love to all at Home. I remain your loving Son. Tom.
