Revd T.W. Walters.

Revd Sir,

            Just a few lines before we leave England, because it may be a long time before I get a chance out at the Front to write.

We expect to move away on or about Tuesday next, and I have been detailed to go out with the Troops and act as Orderly Room clerk the other two clerks are staying behind here for some time and will eventually go to the Headquarter Office at the Base, so that I shall be on my own in the office near the Firing Line.

I expect it will mean a lot of work for me to do, but still when I have got in to the run of things out there it will come quite easy.

Will you please let Miss Roulston have my copy of the Mens Service report, and she will take it home for me.

I trust that you and Mrs Walters will keep in the best of health, and I hope it may not be long before the War is over and we shall once more all meet again.

If it is not asking too much I should like Hymn No 595. Holy Father, in Thy mercy, sung in Church for me the next two Sunday evenings.

With very kind regards to Mrs Walters & yourself.

I remain,

            Yrs obediently

Albert Will
