Sweetheart.  Just a few lines to let you know that I am still in the best of health, and I hope that you are the same, I hope that you are looking after yourself.  Tell Hiram to get plenty of beer in for when I come home as I will be very dry, I have had no beer since I arrived on this side of the channel.  I don’t think it will be long now, and what about a turkey for Christmas dinner, can you manage it.  How is my dad keeping these days I hope he is alright, and Uncle Jack too.  Give my love to Gladys and Bernard and my regards to Harold.  How are things in Little Lever still going on in the same old way I suppose.  How are Uncle Arthur, Aunt Ethel and Ivy I hope they are keeping OK.  Give them my regards.  Also give my regards to all at Horwich.  It is rather difficult to find anything to write about here.  I am in a hut with two chaps from Southampton, two Scotsmen, and a Polish chap, and we get on quite well together.  This is all for now Darling, so I will say cheerio and God bless you.  Give my love to your mother and tell her to look after herself.  All my love Sweetheart.  Yours forever
