A F Rowlett, HMS Spitfire

9 April 1915/in A letter home

I am quite well and still going strong. Don’t I just wish I was at St Neots, but one thing at a time, must finish the Germans off first, then for a good time. I guess the old place must look quite lost with all the Boys at the front. Thanks awfully for cigarettes they came in just right and the St Neots papers, you know how I like the news from my old home. I see Mr Jordan has been appointed an Alderman, I guess he is the right man in the right place. Everything is going on fine with us, always come out on top. Haven’t had time to write more this time, give my best to al at St Neots.
