April 15, 1917

Dear Lillian:

You will probably have heard by the time this reaches you that I got what I came to France for. It's only a little wound in the foot and not serious, but enough for a good rest before I go back.

I shall write a long letter soon and also one to Dad, when I get settled down.

Lovingly,
Reg.
