Language: English 
My Dear Sister & Brother,
       I hope you
are proper good health, as I remain
so at present, except for one thing
and I am very pleased to receive
your Examiner, in which I
received very thankfully. I
want you to know that I have
lost my purse in which was
full of money,
and I want you to put something to and please
send me a nice big Parcel, as
I am completely done in now,
as I have neither money, cigarettes,
nor anything whatever, hoping 
you will please send me a
nice sized Parcel, as you know
Mary we boys want looking after,
as we are in France
fighting for you at Home, so I
hope you will please send one
straigth away, from your

Loving Brother
Joe Wood.

Best Love to All at Home
