In envelope with 1d stamp - Marked Censored H.M.S.Nubian June 10th 1916 Dear Mother,    Just a few lines in answer to your letter which I received on the 9th.  I write you once every week, so you should receive them more regular.   We were not in the battle, so dont worry yourself too much.  It is alright sailing now, nice and pleasant.    When we are at anchor, we amuse ourselves by fishing in our spare time. Fish are plentiful, and they bite well too.    We have plenty of music on our mess deck, namely two manodlines and one concertina.  I am thinking of buying a violin, when I go ashore again.  You would not think there was a war on, if you heard us at night.    Well I cannot write any news, only acknowledge your letters.  So will close.    With best love to all,          I remain, Your Loving Son,               XXXX  Joe  XX
