Dear Father

Received your letter with news of Char’s arrival. It was something like a welcome, special boat, who were the reporters? Glad C. is well and hope he is having a good time if he is doing all I should like to do he certainly is. Still write to you in a day or two do not send anything until I write am well and still out of it.

Best of Luck and love to all

Tom
