  My Dear Son

               I am in difficulty in regard to writing you as there

  is not very much to say from the end of interest. With the

  exception of the election which is causing very little excitement

  although polling day is on the 14th the papers have very

  little news of interest at the moment There has not been

  any election cry from either party up to now although there

  are signs that the Labour Party will bring the question

  of consumption to the fore within the next few days.

  Taking it all together it seems about the tamest election

  that I remember the Rival politicians are scarcely

  finding fault with each other + viewing the situation as

  a whole I have come to the conclusion that the whole

  thingis faked to get the political situation settled 

  before mobilisation takes place with all its industrial

  complications.

  I have sent in another Return to day showing the no. of men

  I shall require within the next few months, also the no.

  I expect to stop. I am making application for yourself

  Tom Greenwood + Fred Stoddard. Tom Greenwood is

  on leave from Bedford + called in to-day. Fred Stoddard

  is in Mesopotamia so there is not much chance for him.

  Have you received a slip at your end asking you if you

  have a situation open for you if not you should receive

  this soon. Let me know when it reaches you.

  There is nothing very special at the works + I do not expect

  there will be for some time till things get more settled.
