Dear mother and sister
Just a few lines to let you know I am well. I hope this letter find you well. I rec’d a letter from you a few days ago and believe me I be glad to hear from you. Your letter was dated Mar 30th. I am glad to know you had a visit to Orillia. Give me all the news when you write.
Well this is Sunday again. It has been a pretty quiet day. Lawson Rumney and I am batching at present. I wish you could call in and have a meal with us. Believe me we are some cooks. We mostly have about four meals a day. It has been some little while since I have been in the line. I have been one of the lucky ones to have a little rest. I have been at moving picture shows or concerts every night.
Well I guess seeding is the order of the day around home now. I often wonder how in the world you are managing. But I know you done well last year better then I could do so there is no need of me worrying. But do not work too hard, what you can not get done let go. I must ring off. Do not be worrying dear mother or sister. I am in the best of health and have been ever since I came to France. I will close. Heaps of love from your loving son and brother Bruce xxxx

My dear mother and sister
I rec’d your welcome letter and card last night. How you will just know how happy I feel. I hope these few lines will find you well. I hope mother’s cold is better. I am just fine. I also rec’d a little basket last night. It was dandy. I was just wishing mother had not put the duck in the box she is sending, it will be spoiled. It takes it too long to come. But I guess the gloves will be alright. One thing I shall not have cold hands this winter.
I am glad that you are getting along well hope that you have no trouble getting lots of wood.
I guess the Moonstone people will be in a sweat now about some of the boys having to get into the colors. It serves them right. They thought that there could not be Conscription for overseas service. I was wishing that you and Lizzie both got out on election day and give M.B. Tudhope a vote. I know I did.
I had a letter from Emma Dunlop the other night it was a surprise to me. I was not looking for it. I got a parcel from the Red Cross sent by Mrs. Shannon a few days ago. How did you find things in Orillia Lizzie.
I must close it is near bed time for me. Do not be worrying for I am quite well and living high. Well bye bye from your loving son and brother Bruce Speerin
