Henry, 

                          
I hope that you have made a safe journey home to Chatham and that you are recovering well. I have been released from service, and having nowhere to go I am making for England. I shall try to find a flat or boarding-house there for the time being. Perhaps I shall find somewhere in Kent.

Yours truly,

                          
Jacob
