Dear Vicar

I am in a perfect state of health hoping all are the same in old Whitwick.  We are all right up to now & are doing some excellent work as a good British Soldier should do for King & Country.  Give my best respects to all at School & tell them I am still smiling.  We are having some very wet weather that’s the worst of it bad weather.  We don’t mind if it would give some nice weather but still we shall have to stick it good night + God Bless you all should like to hear from you.  Yours etc Charlie.
