morning, Dene actually getting up to let him have some breakfast & see him off.
Everyone asks about you & sends all kinds of messages for good luck & Mrs. Lovegrove is knitting you a pair of sox. Didn't you take any pyjamas? I found the ones I bought for you in your room.
Well my dear old boy I must stop this isn't a very lively letter but I have been so closed up in the house with Hazel in bed that I'm dull. The barracks people told me to address you Egypt & that your letters would be forwarded as very likely you were going on to England.
War news is still very dreadful, though slightly in our favour & the Turks seem to be in for a father of a beating. Uncle Jim thinks you may go there to fight first & he says it will be a softer thing than in Belgium.
Adieu dear we all miss you very much & wish you were safely home again.
With much love from
X Mother X
My love to Eric & kindest remembrances to Mr. Thompson.
