Dear Dad

Just a line to let you know all is well with me. I go out of the trenches tomorrow and as I’ve not washed or shaved since coming in shall be delighted. All is quiet and we hope to have some fine weather again, it is wet here now. Where will you go for Easter. Hope you are well no news of note will write soon.

Love to all

Tom

I am still Merry and Bright and so is the weather. We’ve had four lovely warm days and feel in very good humour especially as we are not in the trenches. Perhaps our past is near. Hope you are well. Recvd letter yesterday but no letter for a long time
