Transcription

EpsomSept 22Dear Mother,The day is Sunday and I am at Epsom convalescent hospital. It is run by Canadians and we get enough to eat which is a good thing. At the Imperial hospitals we were very nearly starved. This morning at church service(PAGE 2)we had the Bishop of London but I didn't see anything extraordinary in his sermon. To-night Captain Best is going to be at the "Y" and I am going to hear him.This place is the last I will be in before going back to the depot at Seaford, but we get ten days leave(PAGE 3)before going back.If I can say here until the first of October I will get fourteen days because they are going to change it. I thing the boys from France are to get 21 days leave after the first of the month. Yesterday I saw Kenneth Brown. He came to Blighty sick at(PAGE 4)the beginning of August.Manchester is a fine place and the people are very nice. There are more factories up there than any place I ever saw. I am going to spend a couple of days there while on leave.Love to all,Melville.
