Dear Miss Hann,- No doubt you will think me lost,
for not dropping you a line before but since reaching this
side we have been kept rather busy. Do you think you would
know the face on the opposite side of this.
Tell Miss Elsie I will send her one in Kilt.
Remember me to your Mother.
Hope you are all well. Write me.

Bye Bye. Norman.
