Dear Lulu
This is just a hurried note. I have received orders to entrain for the "Front" tonight, or early tomorrow morning. I have the honor to be in the first draft taken from the 209th. We are to be taken into the 102nd Batt.; where that is I dont know of course but I expect to find out pretty soon. You had better write to the old address however and then I may get the letters. I have had just the one letter from you so far, I am looking for more.
Give my kind regards to your mother and father.
With kindest regards
Yours Tom.
P.S. Address:
No. 252656, Pte Thos. W. Johnson
