Sept. 3rd 1916

Dear brother William: -

I have sent you each a card, and now I am going to send you another card, and a letter. The card will be, your King and Country needs you, and now it won’t be long till He don’t need you. I want you to answer all these cards, because the first one is for your Birth-day. I am in the Machine-gun section now for a course, but you need not bother putting it on the address as I said. So write soon,

Your Brother, W. Johnston.
