Dear E
As I feel fretty well today, and was lucky
enough this morning to get a hold of this sheet of papper, so I think
I will just drop a few lines just to keep you from fretting
I was in hopes to have got off to a general Hospital but
it takes so long for them to move, that we will be lucky if
all of us get of for another week, those that could walk
are all gon, and we may go tomorrow, but let er rip I shant
freet, Give my love to all and tell them to write as soon
as I let you know where we fetch up to.
But I have just time to direct and send this
so good by till next time, My ankle is getting
along first rate, I dont know but what I shall get a
furlough, Yours Truly
Foster
