Dear Annie
Not having an opportunity of answering your kind and very welcome letter after its reception, I now take the opportunity of replying in a short epistle, although I fear it will not prove very interesting, owing to circumstances over which I have no control .
I have been quite well since my arrival at this place, with the exception of a slight cold. The rest of the boys are generally well. Stuart Brown has received a letter from his brother John, they are all well.
My kindest regards to all inquiring friends and believe me as ever yours.
