To Wife From Husband Bert 2
My own dear wife, just a line or two to let you know that I am quite alright & hope you are too. Very pleased to receive yesterday your long letter of the 16th & to hear you were well. Will answer it fully tomorrow or next day by green envelope. Glad you did not leave yours 3 days dear, so you don’t think you would like to be a nurse then after seeing the sights. I’ll bet he was glad to see you. I expect you will think dearest that this a poor return for your long letter but I know you won’t mind will you. Remember always your own loving Husband Bert xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Postal Address: Mr A W Johnson, 78 Hydethorpe Rd, Balham, London, SW, Eng.

Dear Father, Have been expecting a letter from you every day, but nothing turned up yet. Percy told me you were a little better and I am pleased with that good news. All goes well. I shall be over for 14 days leave next week and shall be pleased to see you again. Don’t look forward too much because it might not come off. I visited Versailles Sunday 11th and saw several of the German delegates. Lovely place. Love from H. I am keeping well.
