Dear Mrs Allison
You will doubtless be surprised to hear from me & also at the manner in which I addressed this envelope but I did not know your husband's initials and thought some one else might get this letter.  Mother, Father and I have just arrived back from Winnipeg where we have been to see the B. C. 68th Batt boys away as my only brother has enlisted in that Batt. & of course you can know how we felt at parting with him but proud of him as well Mother has taken it very hard indeed

Dear Mrs Allison

You will doubtless be surprised to hear from me & also at the manner in which I addressed this envelope but I did not know your husband's initials and thought some one else might get this letter. Mother, Father and I have just arrived back from Winnipeg where we have been to see the B.C. 68th Batt. boys away as my only brother has enlisted in that Batt. & of course you can know how we felt at parting with him but proud of him as well Mother has taken it very hard indeed
