Dear Mother & Father 
Will you 
please come & see me, I am  
here in London just fancy 
home in dear old London. 
The last letter I wrote you 
was in Alexandia Egypt 
& the very next day they 
packed me off to England 
much to my surprise & 
delight as you can g ess 
Well after a rotten trip

we arrived at Southampton 
yesterday afternoon (Mon 30) 
& from there they packed  
the Australians & New 
Zealanders on the train for 
London & we arrived here  
at 7 oclock last night. 
This is a tip top hospitial 
I am in & as you can bet 
I enquired the visiting days 
which are Wedensday from  
4 till 5 in the afternoon, 
Saturday & Sunday from 
2 till 4 in the afternoon 
so I hope to see you before 
long. As regards to my  
wound well its goin on  
first class very nearly 
healed & I can very nearly  
walk about without a limp 
but of course they wont let 
me out or you would see 
me home in about two ups 
but as it stands now I have 
to wait for you to come 
& see me which wont be 
long, perf perhaps tomorrow 
Wed if posseable we will 
say well I shall be 
expecting you as you wont 
have time to reply to this 
letter & when you come I will 
be very pleased if you 
will bring a little fruit 
with you as it is such a  
long while since I tasted 
any. Well there seems 
a great change in the

weather to me for about a 
week ago I was at Malta 
& the tempeture was about 
110° in the shade so you 
can see I feel a bit chilly 
here well I will now as 
I want you to get this letter 
in time for tomorrow. 
I remain 
Your loving son 
Bob. 
P. S. This hospitial is  
about a stones throw from  
Warterloo Station I hope 
you will be able to it 
alright. 
Dont forget
