Drummer Edward Armstrong
77th Reg't of Foot
Grenadier Coy.
Dearest Edward,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits!
I felt it nessasary to forward this as it contains great news!
My transfer has been approved,I guess it does help having a big
brother as Regimental Drum Major?!
I wanted to let you know, Uncle John is in charge of a Provincal
Reg't,somewhere near you. You know,it would'nt kill you to contact
him,after all he said on your behalf to Father when he found out
that you enlisted!
I will share all the news from home once we are together.
With all my love your little brother
Drummer Ian Armstrong
60th Reg't of Foot
Grenadier Coy.
