Dear mother
I hope you are all quite well I recieved 2 letters from you & 3 from maggie today. don't trouble to send any Breeches & Leggings as Billy told you, I dont have to go & work like he does. The food he mention is the best to send, but as that sort of stuff is so expensive, dont trouble, I would like a little Bacon some time if it isnt too expensive. Len seem to be having a good time fishing, I wish I was with him. give my love to all at Home your loving Son
Tommy.
