It is very dull here today in fact it is wet & nasty. The post card of the station I am sending Mum is the one at which I got off at on my return here, but it has been smashed up of course. Well now Agnes bye-bye, give my love to all at home & remember me to Martha. Best love to yourself ever. Your loving brother xxxx Harold. xx
