Dear Hilda_x000D_
Sorry I have not been able to write you a few lines before I leave for the line by the afternoon train today but I trust this rather rough p.c of myself will do instead. It was taken in this base depot camp a couple of days after my arrival so you will observe that I am in topping health and spirits. I have tons of confidence & am sure of returning in good time to good old N.Z. Hope all is well with you, all is very well with me. Your loving brother. Cedric K Graham._x000D_
