Revd T.W. Walters
Revd Sir,
Just a few lines to let you know I am still quite well and fit. I am having a quite time here and am very busy. I should like to ask you a favour, if it is not too much. I am thinking of applying for a Commission, and should like a character from you, and I wonder whether you have a friend who could use his influence to give me a push. I ask this because the Unit I wish to try for, requires a lot of getting in.
I should like a reply from you as early as possible and then I can send the papers to you.
I hope you are all in good health. Must close with very kind regards to Mrs Walters & yourself.
Yours obediently
Albert Will.
