25^th March, 1916

Dear Private Fitzsimons,

I received your interesting letter about a week ago, but you omitted to put a date on it: you have the month but not a day. You are evidently kept very busy at your hospital. It is wonderful how quickly willing hands can get things into their proper place, as you and your corps must have done when you arrived at that clearing station and took over the jute factory as well as a large school. The post card which you enclosed gives me a very good idea of what the building is: something after the style of our Technical Institute.

Second Lieutenant Warren is now at the front, and you will remember Mr Butler of Falls Road who, a week ago, joined the Northumberland Fusiliers and is now in training at Newcastle-on-Tyne.

We send you our best wishes,
I am,
Yours sincerely,

CHIEF LIBRARIAN

Private J Fitzsimons,
41^st Casualty Clearing Station,
British Expeditionary Force
