Letter to Rev Walters from A W Hanson

2nd October 1916

Revd T.W. Walters.

Revd Sir,

You will think me very unkind for not written to you for so long but since I came back from leave I have been very busy working until eight and nine at night and have had very little leisure time.  Things also have been very quiet.  I am pleased to see we managed to upset the Zepps when they come over our country.

Yesterday we had our Harvest Festival and the services were very nice.  I don’t know whether I told you that we have built a church of our own here, which was a much needed place.  I suppose everywhere is dull and uninteresting at home, I can tell from letters I have that little is happening.

I trust yourself family are in good health, I have had a bad cold for some time now.

Must close with kind regards to Mrs Walters & yourself

Yrs obediently

Albert Will Hanson
