Dear  Mother

I sent a letter to Father yesterday but thought another p.c. would be welcome. It is very cold here this morning but dry and nice. Thank you for your letter and memo I will forward one of Auntie Kates and Cousin Edie’s soon. Is the Kaiser any worse yet? Hope all are better and all the colds gone.

Much Love to all

Tom

Dear Alec

Just a line to let you all know I’m still Merry and Bright, well and safe. We returned from trenches yesterday after a pretty fair time and plenty of shelling but no damage. Will write again when I hear from Mother. Hope you are well, do you go to school yet?

Best wishes from your affect. brother

Dear Father

Thanks for p.c. of 28^th Dec. I am still anxiously awaiting the letters. Have had a very poor post lately, will write from the trenches which we go to on Monday. Have had a jolly week in spite of weather and have a few little bits of news. Glad you liked the last and that house is so snug and nice. You seem to have spent a quiet Xmas. Hope all are well

Best Love and good wishes

From

Tom
