...do not worry Betty dear believe that things will turn out for the best yet, & when the day of reunion does at last come our joy will be the greater. I leave Bramshott on Tuesday Dec 4th /17 for Shorncliffe & from there I shall go to France - I do not know as yet what part of the line I shall be in, but I will endeavour to write as often as possible & keep you posted as to my where-about

You had better examine your letters carefully & when I do get to France I will put a dot (so . ) over some of the letters, pick out these letters so marked & put them together, & you will be able to spell out the name of the place I am at....I hope & pray that comming New Year will usher in the day for which we are all looking & longing for, & that I may be spared to spend the Xmas of 1918 with my little family, I do hope dear that you are feeling better also Billy, keep a brave heart & still trust & pray. My dearest & fondest love to yourself & Shirley & Billy, with hugs & kisses God bless & keep you ever prays

Daddy.
