What a treasure! Here's my reading:

[Postmarked "Vladivostock Brit..."
and "London E7 8JY 19" - 8 July 1919?]

Master Cyril Buxton

South Hackney
London NE
England

My Dear Cyril,

Your Dadie is so pleased to write to his dear little Boy and let him know I am
quite well and going along alright in Siberia
your dear Mummy tells me what a good Boy you are which I am so pleased to know
and that you like your school
Dadie was very upset to know your dear little Brother was so ill and hope he is
alright now it is to be hoped it won't be long now before I come home kiss dear
Baby & Mummy for me God Bless you with fondest love from your loving Dadie

Is that what you think it says?

Thanks!
Emrys
