Dear Aunt Lily,

Am still in hosp as you see by above address. I have been transferred to this place for special treatment but so far there is no change. I sleep very miserably and the ringing and hissing in my ear continues without a break. Am afraid my case has the doctors fooled. They tell me now that it may take a couple or three years for the noise to die down and my nervous system in the ear to become normal. I expect to get a board before long, have a little leave and report for duty again.

We have been having grand weather, which I have taken advantage of this last month to visit some of the coast towns and sea side summering places. About a week ago I visited Canterbury and had a most interesting tour thru the old Cathedral which is a very wonderful old place. I am doing quite a bit of cycling to keep myself fit and am thus able to see considerable of the country round here which is beautiful.

I am eating well and looking well, a little thin probably, but getting brown as a "berry." Will close hoping you are all well at home. Love to all,

Your nephew,

Lou
