    Did he write this out, or is it a check-off card? “I am well/sick/wounded,” and so on?

    It was a form of check-off card where the soldier would cross out all unapplicable information. You can see the complete format at the following post: http://worldwar1letters.wordpress.com/2012/01/08/postcard-from-somewhere-in-france-7151918/

    So he was “well,” but not “quite well” — I wonder what the difference was. These cards and letters are just fascinating.
