France
Oct. 30th, 1918

Dear Lily,

Your very welcome letter received and indeed glad to learn that Birdie and the children are well. It seems a long time since I have left home . I guess the children will not know me when I return. It looks as if the war will soon be over. I hope the powers that be will not let up until we have the great pleasure of destroying some of Germany's cities. However I do not think the Boche will ever let us do it. I have had a great time since July chasing the Huns. The only enjoyable time spent in France.

I hope you are all well.

Kind regards to all.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Leask
