Dear mother I cannot write at present for myself but the Church of England Chaplain has offered for to do so for me I arrived in this hospital yesterday altogether I have been 14 days coming down from the front lines were I was hit do not worry darling mother because I was wounded in the head for although a present I am partly paralysed in both legs and one arm yet already there's signs of returning sensations the doctor says there is no reason why I should not get quite alright again you may soon begin to look for me because the padre says that he expects as soon as I am fit to travel I will be sent home. I am in no pain at all mother dear if you have heard of me winning the Military Cross I am sure you were pleased your boy was a brave chap in the time of danger I have received your letters regularly and expect to get one or two any moment as another mail is in but my letters have to come down from the front regiment my fondest love to all especially to you and father
From your loving son
